I have been training hard lately for the upcoming fall racing season. I have a few target events:
1) Riley's Rumble Half Marathon
GOAL: I am running this hilly course as a training run, so my only goal is to keep myself together and enjoy a local race (right near my house!)
2) Rock n' Roll Philly...
