Ah, summer, sweet, sweet summer, bring on the lazy days … after our runs, of course! And now that my injury is FINALLY healed, I’m even more excited about doing lots of awesome summer runs for Dopey training.

Happy Friday, everyone! None of us Joyful Milers were able to do runDisney’s 2017 Star Wars Dark Side Half Marathon Weekend. So instead, we had Gerald Reznick from the RezRuns YouTube channel join us for a Jammin’ on the Run chat about the 10k and half marathon!
Those who cannot do … host.
