Picking Up The Pace With The Snow Cleared

With things warming up yesterday the roads and sidewalks got cleared pretty well. I was able to hit my interval training run paces quite easily.

I only have a couple of runs left in the training plan before the marathon next week, then it’ll be on to the #RBR 25K training. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun
