August in Review

Today's 6 mile run brought my August training to a close.  August also brought my return to work so I am back to running before the sun rises daily.  All of thsoe pre-dawn runs helped me set yet another monthly mileage PR---180.21 miles which puts me 7.78 miles away from 1,000 miles for the year.

August turned out the be a pretty good month overall.  I had an outstanding 19 mile run one weekend.  I felt strong the entire time and finished with a great pace.  One week later I had a pretty unpleasant 20 mile run as the moment I realized I had forgotten my Garmin I pretty much set myself up mentally for a less than stellar run.  In the end, I learned a valuable lesson.

Bring it on September!
Keep running, you're simply the best, and you inspire me!!
