This Sunday I’ll be running the Twin Cities Marathon. Yes, I’m voluntarily running 26.2 miles. I’ve been training for the last year, so there’s quite a bit of anticipation for race day to come. Very similar, I’m sure, to the anticipation you’ve been feeling the past few days for this week’s EOD roundup. Here’s my favorite posts of the week:
