t-1 day until the dark side
i can't believe that we are less than 24 hours away from the star wars half marathon - the dark side. it seems like this race has definitely creeped up, which ultimately means that marathon training is quickly approaching for october. now, all i am praying for is no thunderstorms during the race. unfortunately, they …
