Just saw this 5K on the sign of a bank. The course goes through UNC Asheville and it’s a great cause, especially for a former teacher like me who knows how many families with children with autism, can’t pay for the resources they need! I am excited to get back into the 5K circuit and …
Yup, that’s what happened to me. I was running and I was about .25 of a mile from being finished and I bit it. For some reason, I decided to reverse the trail that I normally run and end with the trail encumbered by roots at the end of my run. This was a bad …
