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…
