Happy St. Patty’s Saturday

How’s your St. Patrick’s day going? We’ve had a super duper day. I’ll tell you mine if you’ll tell me yours. It began… I got up early and started out on an 18 mile run.

PLUS the legs were feeling pretty good. The morning was perfect. My stomach was a little “off” but I can’t blame it on [...]
