Cross Country has been going very well ~ the boys have been beaten only twice, by the same team {Solon} and the girls are getting faster and stronger each week. Yesterday the girls finished top ten. And, by top ten, I mean the first 10 finishers were Madison. Rather amazing.
Ran all my long runs this month with Mike & Dodd and I'm pretty sure Mike is enjoying group running. Part of me misses the alone time or the time with a podcast that I would get on a long run, but not enough of a part to actually go out there alone. Those two make the miles go by faster than they do when I'm alone.
The next three weekends are very full ~ a half, a concert, and another half. I'm anxious about doing to halves so close together ~ but excited to run something other than a 5k. The forecast is calling for cold and rainy this Sunday...but we're still far enough out to hold onto some hope for 62 & overcast with very little wind. Dream Big.
September Totals:
93.91 miles for the month ~ hate when I'm under 100.
1070.8 miles for the year
1070.8 miles for the year
196.08 miles in my Gortex Ghosts ~ didn't wear them this month
607.88 miles in my pink Brooks Glycerin 12. Camp Stig shoes ~ So, they aren't as muddy as you would think...but that's changing tomorrow when we run the FULL White Trail {and it's rained the past three days}
217.51 miles in my Nike Vomero ~
121.1 miles in my light blue Brooks Glycerin 11 ~
Training for: The Northern Ohio Half...this Sunday! & The Columbus Half October 18
Podcasts I'm listening to: Marathon Training Academy, Stuff You Missed in History Class, Dear Sugar, Stuff You Should Know, & This American Life, Love & Radio, RadioLab & Stuff to Blow Your Mind. New ones: Lore & downloaded Hidden Brain, but haven't listened to it yet.
My WEIGHT: I have NO IDEA. I'm so afraid to get on the scale because my eating has been totally out of control. Clothes still fit ~ but I need to make better choices. or at least talk about making better choices.
Some interesting facts:
Highest weekly mileage this month: 35.57 September 13 to September 19 ~ but only because we did a long run on Sunday and another on Friday.
Favorite place to run this month: at night on the sidewalk downtown. I do love running at night.
# of bags of Candy Cane Kisses left in my cabinet: NADA
# of books I read this month: None. Wow, I think that's the first time I've gone a month without finishing a book ~ had one halfway done & it was removed from my Kindle. Hope I remember what happened when I get it back.
Monthly mileage record: 156.69 ~ March 2015 {purposely ran 8 (on a treadmill) on March 30 to beat the August 2013 record}
Highest mileage ever-at-one-time: 26.36 ~ May 17, 2015 The Cleveland Marathon
