Achoo!

Back in the swing, almost

Posted on October 29, 2010 by G

I guess the week I took off wasn’t very helpful (thanks, ankle).  25 minutes was still tough before, now I’m having a hard time getting the time up again.  Made it 15 minutes before walking, then sprinted up the Hill … Continue reading →

Nearly forgot!

Overuse?

Posted on October 8, 2010 by G

Brr! (also, W6D3 conquered)

Posted on October 4, 2010 by G
