The Sun Never Sets on A8C Relay X

Notes from the trail 03.11
My training plan for the upcoming marathon (this Sunday!) was rudely interrupted by an obligatory work trip to Cancún. I know right? The nerve! I dealt with it because I love travel running. There are worse places to have a few tune up runs. 😉
