Bring your baby to work day? I am explaining different theories of emotion, and my 5-month-old son is mesmerized.
Remembering a few years ago when this was my attempted 100K race pace. Now it's an 8-miler. Don't despise the day of small beginnings, I guess! Looking forward to this rebuild back to form.

It’s called WIN-ter because you have to train through it to race well in the Spring.
