26 December 2011
I have a problem, my problem is that I always push myself to progress the way I see myself progressing. Most people would say that isn't a bad thing, but it can be if you don't know how to control it. After my first marathon, I felt fantastic! Don't get me wrong, I wasn't running [...]
