By now you must know my affinity for Olympian Jeff Galloway; he is THE reason (well, with the runDisney alliance, of course) that I began running at the age of 53. HE is the number one reason I have gone injury-free for the past six years. (The physical therapy background is a distant second.) Watching yesterday’s Boston Marathon got me motivated to move things to the next level. I am registered in the local Jeff Galloway Long Island Training Program and I’m ready to run. Which one of the following races will I be seeing YOU at??
