Nothing happened this week. The Golden State is one of the most frustrating books I've ever read. It doesn't help that my expectations for this one were sky high. This one has some serious hype…
The week in review
After (mostly) taking a break from running over the summer, I've started to get back into it. Super slow but I'm building up mileage again and getting ready for Ragnar Napa. I took a bad…
