Life is a Community Fun Run

I hope everyone is having a great weekend! Today I did my second “long” run of my NYCM build. Although it was only 6 miles, it was the longest I’ve run in a while 😅. I’m spending this month building up to a 10 mile long run so that come July, I’ll be ready to more consistently run longer without it being a total shock to my system. And yes, I’m still prioritizing my long run fuel even though my runs aren’t that long yet!
