Today’s Friday Five theme is “favorites” but since today is tax day* I thought it might be more fitting to share five things that frustrate runners.
I generally do not think of myself as a judgmental person, but there are certain areas where I find it hard not to judge others. I confessed as much on Carla’s blog, and admitted that the circumstances say more about me than about whomever I’m judging.
My spring race schedule doesn’t leave much time for rest and recovery. The Reston 10 Miler was exactly one month before the Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run last weekend, and the George Washington Parkway Classic 10 miler is only two weeks away.
