I’d love to get faster! I’m hoping to do that through training and completing my second marathon, San Francisco and then maybe CIM. My first marathon was a pretty flat course and I historically have hated running that involves hills, but I know they will ultimately make me a better and stronger runner.
Favorite Workout:
-
Any kind of sprint work or slow easy miles out on my favorite trail along the lake.
