Raising Children to Weather the Storm
Staying on track with marathon training during the holidays doesn’t have to be so hard. I’ll admit that I had a minor set back after Thanksgiving. But before I went off the deep end, I decided to whip myself into shape. I’ve come up with a few simple ways to avoid slacking off. 1. Train…
There are many challenges of training for a half marathon. It’s been a few weeks and I’ve already had some minor set backs. But despite those hiccups, I’ve been able to soldier on. For starters, I was called in to work the early shift the other day just as I was getting ready to run…
