It seems like the last two weeks really flew by and I apologize for the lack of an entry last weekend. I have an admission that I’ll just get off my chest right off the bat; part of why I didn’t write last weekend was that I ended up not running during the crazy heat wave we had in VT. With temps into the 100’s and incredibly heavy humidity it wasn’t exactly appealing. When that was mixed with a holiday ...
