It has been HOT and MUGGY all week ~ so I've been running at 5am (when it's still hot and muggy...just not sunny) That makes for long days ~ but the days I didn't run, I felt groggy all morning. So maybe I need to keep it up. But boy, that's EARLY.
Today I ran to the YMCA for the U Wanna Come Back Invitational. It was an amazing run. 12 miles & I was drenched {98% humidity ~ I'm sure} but I just feel so strong. Can't wait for my 20 next Saturday!
Something that I think is really helping is running with Dodd to start. He runs fast to start & being as competitive as I am, I try & keep up. We talk for 7 miles or so and the time goes quickly. Then I put in my music. I'm not tired of it at the end. I think I will start the marathon without it & only turn it on when I need some motivation.
August’s Totals:
155.46 miles for the month 805.46 miles for the year
0 biking miles for the month
132 biking miles for the year
480.93 miles in my Now Retired, {except for Camp Stig} black, pink & blue Asics
99.17 miles (I did not separate out the few miles run at Camp Stig) in my orange mizunos {love them}
My WEIGHT: The scale has not been my friend. It was at 135 most of August. Went back to school & after two days of salad at lunch it was at 134. I'm not unhappy with that...just need to curb my poor eating choice. {apple instead of cookie}
Favorite place to run this month: The new white trail at Stig ~ and the last two miles DOWNHILL on County Line from 307 home.
# of bags of Candy Cane Kisses left in my cabinet: One
# of books I read this month: two
Monthly mileage record: 155.46 ~ August 2013! WOW
Highest mileage ever-at-one-time: 18! Saturday August 24, 2013
