Boston Marathon Training: 10 Weeks Till Race Day

Week 7: 2/10/20-2/16/20 

Recap: Completed Weekly Mileage 42.90

This week was hard AF! Not going to glamorize the workouts one bit but I’m proud I stuck it out. Living on a 250ft hill makes me grateful for the opportunity to grow and push my limits which ONLY make me stronger in the end.
