One of the things I am really thankful for, in 2020, is my smoothie habit! Every day that I worked from home, which was pretty much the entire year, I managed to sneak in a vegetable smoothie around noon time, with lunch to follow at around 1:30 pm.

So true for marathon runners too! The hard intensive training (the pain), followed by adequate rest and recovery (the wait, or taper đ), and then the moment of glory when you cross the finish line (the rising).

Anyways, … Continue reading The inaugural edition of Tarblazer 42.2! A race review…
