Hot weather oats
I started the day with a rough 13 or 14 miles. I say 13 or 14 because the last mile was walk/run. I wanted to walk by mile 10 and a runner coming from the opposite direction actually said, “Smile, it’s okay to smile.” Ha. I smiled and decided I would keep going for another 3 miles. I actually discovered…
