Some Soggy Saturday Thoughts
It’s a very wet, windy, and soggy day here in Hawaii. I know we shouldn’t complain given the weather this past week on much of the mainland. Nothing like 30 miles out on the HURT course to bring you back to reality in regards to fitness and training. Glad I got my run in yesterday….
