Simple Miso Soup
I was in Oahu a few weeks ago and the first day ambled into the Regency Club at our hotel for breakfast. There was the usual fare; a beautiful array of fresh fruits, baked goods, eggs, bagels, etc. and over on a side table was a huge pot of miso soup, a rice cooker filled …

The Plan So this was the 13th week of my training. I had a long run and some speed work tossed in to the mix. In full disclosure, the Thursday tempo runs cause me anxiety. Speed work is my mental kryptonite. But there's no 'opt-out' button in my training. I mean I could skip things …
