2017 Spring/Summer Workouts, Week Fifteen, Day Seven

Long runs on Sundays are where memories are made. The long time writer for Sports Illustrated, and two time Olympian, Kenny Moore, used to write his stories while he ran long runs. They are time for contemplation and introspection. They are also time for sharing friendships and stories. Enjoy your long runs with your friends!
