Sunday Run Down #4 and #5

I've not abandoned my training, I just didn't have much to post about last week.  Week 4 of marathon training involved 60 minutes hot yoga on Tuesday and 7.5miles on Wednesday an that was all! I even missed my long run which should have been 12 miles.  I was so annoyed at myself because I…

I should have stayed in bed…
