Run Your Peeps Off

Let's get rid of all of those chocolate bunnies, candy eggs and the dreadful marshmallowy Peeps by hittin' the track for another killer workout!

Sorry for Not Posting Yesterday's Workout

Hi All - Chez Web Maven was suffering a bout of the spring flu, so updating track workouts and running were sidelined. All should be normal again next week.

I hope that everyone who could got out to the track for a good splish-splashing time in the rain last night!
