Have you ever had one of those days where you say to yourself, “Well, it sounded like a good idea at the time”?
Yesterday was a day like that. As I have mentioned, we are training for a marathon in South Dakota in early June. In preparation, we’ve been trying to do longer and longer runs; last weekend we ran ten miles, so this weekend we were going to go for 12 miles. We thought it would be
