For the most part, we’ve both been working from home. Jake spent the majority […]

Aside from the ever-changing COVID-19 pandemic, nothing much happened this week. We spent the first half of the week recovering, both physically and emotionally.

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. […]
