Kimmie Free Pass Boston Marathon

I did not check in here last week, but it turns out I didn't need a free pass, since I ran that relay last weekend.

So, for me, I ran the Marathon on Monday- no running Tuesday and Wednesday- easy, short on Thursday and the relay over the weekend... ended up with 43 miles total for the week, Smile

I'm taking one more week to just run "whatever I want" which may end up being only about 25 miles this week and then week it's back to it.
