This morning I went over to a friend’s house and ran with a group of friends he had pulled together. We all did a nice little loop through some trails and across many cute wooden bridges, then three o...
Food and Running and Tumblr and RESTING 30 Jan 2013 | 04:49 am
I have a stupidly insatiable appetite today. I think it’s because I ran 16 miles over the course of the last two days. My body is still catching up. I forget sometimes that my body doesn’t know the di...
