Time to do a little recap of 2010 and get on to 2011! The Run Your Potential runners had a great year so let me list some highlights: The coach managed 14 races in 2010. The total included 3 Marathons, 2 Half Marathons, 7 5K’s, and 2 mile races. The best times were: USATF Road [...]

This ‘runyourpotential’ recap is long overdue! Personally had a very tough start of the year regarding my running. After TCM ’09 in October I was feeling some swelling and pain due to a PF strain in my foot. At first I thought it was a bruise of the heel/arch but during a hard uphill trail sprint [...]
