This race was not for the faint-hearted. What sounds like a fun way to start a Saturday, a 6k run or walk, is still kicking my butt more than 30 hours later. One Word: Uphill The Palm Springs Tram…
I haven’t written a race report in a long time. And maybe you’ll think writing about a 10k is boring. But there is no boring. This is the race that made me love running again. The race that made…
