Summary
5 years ago, I stopped chasing my impossible dream to qualify for the Boston marathon. Well...BQ OR BUST take 4!

Every week I'll be breaking down my training here so watch or tune in!
Week 1 of training to break 2 hours in the half marathon (I'm calling this Project 1:59) is finished. So let's talk about it!
