I feel like I always struggle to write full marathon recaps. How do you write down the mental, emotional and physical experience of a 26.2 mile journey by foot?!? I personally really enjoy going back and re-reading my race recaps, I look at my blog as a sort of journal (albeit a journal open … Continue reading
A few months after registering for the Marine Corps Marathon I saw the information on the MCM Runners bRUNch and thought it sounded like a great way to start of my Marine Corp Weekend!
