Hey there!  It’s the start of another week…why can’t the weekends last a little bit longer?  Hopefully you were able to make the most of it.

Now that the Rock and Roll Philly Half Marathon is over, I am trying to figure out what the heck to do with my life when it comes to running and fitness!  Training for the race brought so much structure to my fitness life and kept me consistent.  I’m actually sad that it’s all over.   Now that I don’t have a training plan, what do I do to keep in running shape?
