Their goal half marathon mileage is in the low 13:00 per mile pace. The last goal I set for a half marathon was a 14:30 mile. I crushed it at a 13:38 pace. These women might change my life! Saturday’s goal was to walk six miles, and somehow, we ended up walking 6.5 miles total. I have used the Strava app since logmyrun suggested it because it was going away.

This studio mandates new students to take eight one-on-one sessions, and the first is with their on-site physical therapist. He will tell me what my strengths are and what to watch out for. On Wednesday, I’ll have my first Pilates one-on-one with an instructor who will know exac...
