Why Are We So Mean to Ourselves, But So Loving to Others?

Honesty
I am in my reflection phase right now. After a season of training, during my time off, I always think back over how things have gone. The mistakes I have made, and what I can do better as we move forward. I am excited to move into marathon training for California International on December 4th,…
