Bonus episode for this weekend (or Sue is just catching up on her editing backlog). Meagan begins her new half marathon training plan; Sue finally makes it to a race this year; our Runner Girl of the Week is conquering mountains; and since when is there running in the winter olympics… or is New Balance now sponsoring auto races? We’re very confused.
