I think it works for me because I don't have high-mileage weeks anyways, so adding a few extra 1-milers (on what would usually be rest days) isn't a big deal.Kim at Running on the Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028968906430207641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-52283802651058095582021-11-30T18:44:40.216-06:002021-11-30T18:44:40.216-06:00Knock wood, this week has been most kind with temp...Knock wood, this week has been most kind with temps in the mid-50's!
