I've been thinking about how to write this for two weeks. This race meant a lot of different things. But first off, it was a super fun weekend away with friends and family. We took Friday off so we wouldn't be rushed and enjoyed a beautiful afternoon in Door County that included packet pickup, a … Continue reading 2018 Door County Half Marathon: Race Recap

Door County Half Marathon: Thoughts and Goal
Goals and thoughts. So many thoughts. One goal: run and finish my 24th half marathon. (Yes, I went back and counted.)
