track tuesday
start strong, finish stronger. i'd say that was the perfect mantra for yesterday's track tuesday session. there is something about a track workout that gets me extremely nervous, but yet also extremely excited at the same time. i think like any run, you just never really know, leading into the workout, how you're body is …
