Description

Howdy, and welcome back to Strides!

In this episode, I break down my experience running the 20k event this past Saturday during the Desperado Gravel Run & Ruck in Boerne, Texas. 

This was an incredible event with some gorgeous Hill Country trails, and will surely be a yearly staple for me.
