I have finally made it to double digits in the half marathon training program I'm following.

All that and some updates about the 47th Annual Ashland Railroad 10k Run in this episode. Thanks for downloading the show!

Week 3 training for the River City Half is done and I'm feeling pretty good with the program I'm following. It's a "relaxed fit" perspective I'm taking to this training cycle vs. "bootleg" style. Listen to the show to learn more about that!
