Full/Ultra Marathon Blog

Got in a 10:1 (x5) run before work. Loved it -- the endorphins set in and "woke" me up. Been feeling a bit tired after a week off and back to work at school. Love running...planning to do it again tomorrow (maybe morning - otherwise after work). 6.50 K today :-)

YTD = 432.37 K
