I've been teaching college now for 10 years. My biggest challenge is figuring out when to eat. I practice intuitive eating, which discourages eating if you're not…
  • I'd love to jump in. I'm running my 3 1/2 marathon on November 26th in Seattle (The Seattle 1/2 Marathon). I use Hal Higdon's intermediate training schedule. Good luck with your race!
