What a crazy week! I’ve been in and out of airports, 6 flights total!

I have about a million things to unpack from the week – both on the running front and the life front! We are down to the wire on marathon training –> 4 weeks away!

To be honest, this week was a very difficult one for me emotionally.

Happy February! Doesn’t the daunting feeling of starting the new year + little sunlight makes January feel so long?
