Day530 Holiday Lake TR (2)
Training Run – Holiday Lake When I said I will be going to Holiday Lake for a training run, my friends and family reacted in disbelief. They think it was too easy for me. Do I really need to train for a 50K? Not really but I thought the place has good trails and elevation…

Bull Run Run Training 1. BRR training started a week after the MMT training run. I did both sets of training last year and doing them again this year. The only difference this time is I will be running in the BRR (actual race) this year. Last year, I only did the training runs but…
