Recap Week, Day 3: Running Tips and Tricks
>> Wednesday, July 28, 2010


I began my day with an easy and fun 7.2 mile run at 8:28 pace. All in my Vibrams. I can't imagine a better way to start off my 27th year. As most of you know, running is one of our most frequent topics on (never home)maker. And you may not have checked out the running button in our right-hand sidebar yet. All our running-related posts are available to you -- at all times. But we thought we'd post it this week, too. The information covers a range of topics related to running, training, motivation, and everything else for beginners and long-time runners alike. So, if you're new, you're in luck! There's a ton of stuff you can read through/catch up on. Enjoy!

And if there's a topic you DON'T see covered yet -- let us know. We're always looking for ideas. Just leave a comment or email us at neverhomemaker [at] gmail [dot] com.
