500 miles and a new watch

Training Totals 4.24.11
RECAP: I had big plans. I figured I could keep up my mileage in the days leading up to my wedding and then get in some decent miles on the honeymoon. Wrong, wrong wrong. The week before the honeymoon and the week of the honeymoon were some of the most amazing weeks of my life,…
