t-1 day to winter park 10k
whoa, i cannot believe it's already one day until the winter park road race 10k. and i am feeling so many emotions, especially this close to the race. first, nervousness. i definitely have not been able to train as much as i would've liked to prior to this race - mainly because my body has …
