    Back At It With The Daybreak Group Runs

    ByTim Nolte
    My phone died and my watch powered off at around the 5 mile mark. I ended up doing 7.5 miles by the finish. This was my longest run to date. I’m feeling a little more comfortable with the idea of doing the half marathon in the fall. [endomondowp type=’workout’ workout_id=’885243077′] Daybreak
