Goals
- Send out my first enewsletter! I promised myself once I surpassed 100 subscribers, I had to give myself a deadline of getting it out within that same month. April is quickly coming to a close, so I only have a few days left to get my act together and get gutsy enough to click send. Subscribe here to make sure you get the first newsletter I send out.
- Get back into strength training. With two weeks left before the Broad Street Run, I’ve been doing TONS of cardio (a 9 mile training run yesterday and a 5K race today!) but I’ve definitely been neglecting strength. I know how important strength is to ensuring I run a strong race on May 5, so I want to focus on that this week.
