The Starting Line

by Clara Grandt on March 19, 2013

My racing season is opening this weekend in Virginia Beach at the Towne Bank 8k. I'm looking forward to getting on the starting line in a competitive setting again and seeing the masses of runners who will be there for the marathon that it is associated with it the next day.
