Day 14: Celebrate Small Victories
Grateful for my best mountain training run ever (16 miles with nearly 4,000 feet of elevation, in under 3 hours) yesterday, followed by an hour and a half run with hill sprints today. Sometimes setbacks help us appreciate how great things are when there aren’t any setbacks!
