Looking Ahead
by
Dan
Having little motivation and doing minimal running has left me with plenty of free time to contemplate my 2010 race plans. Concerned about injuries in 2008 and 2009 I focused on only one goal race for the season. I hope to be in better health next year so I may pick two key races for the 2010 season, one in the summer and one in the fall. The li ...
