Twenty-four hours to start and finish a 10K. Amazing, right? This coming from the girl who earlier this year clocked a painful 2:45 for the Houston Half. Twenty-four hours to run 6.21 miles? Piece. Of. Cake. This was all part of Nike’s first ever digital race, She Runs LA. Simply breaking down the name, here’s […]
