Cowtown Training Week 13

Cowtown Training Week 13

I’m still suffering from shin splints. I’m trying not to think about how far I’m getting behind on my training. At this point, I just hope to be healed enough to cross the finish line. We had another arctic front come in Monday evening, so […]

Snow!
