07/12/2012 by Deanna +

04/25/2012 by Deanna +

April showers bring May marathons. Based upon my (almost non-existent) marathon training recaps from the past couple weeks, especially my last recap, it appears as if I've fallen off the training wagon. Well, I have. Sort of. The blog post recap wagon. Rest assured, I've been running away, I just have not blogged about it. Shame on me. But I suppose that's what happens when you have a busy,
