a weekly log of our everyday life
We’re about 7 weeks away from race day for the LA marathon! Our weeks are practically defined by our running schedule now. It’s getting harder to motivate ourselves to run throughout the the week because the “shorter” 3-5 mile runs seem like they don’t really add much to our training when compared our long runs. […]
