A Fresh Start
Hello again! It has been almost a year and a half since our last post on Technically Running, and to be honest, for much of that time, I wasn’t sure if we’d ever come back to it.

Running (Freakishly) Long Distances
Hi, my name is Emily, and I like to run long distances. Not super long distances. I’m not one of the hardy individuals who straps on their sneakers to run fifty, sixty, even one hundred or more miles at a time. Not yet, anyway.
