How is it September already? I feel like it was just yesterday that I was complaining that I would never be able to get all of my runs in with the kids at home all the time. And as excited as I am for school to start up again, I'm kind of going to miss my summer running schedule. (Someone remind me of that next May when I start complaining ...)
Anyway, here is my August 2010 in review ...
Miles Planned/Miles Ran: 200/208.42 (my first time over 200 miles!)
Rest Days Planned/Rest Days Taken: 9/7 (Shelly's 10 day challenge contributed to this)
Highest Mileage Week: 8/23 - 8/29: 48.37 miles
Long Runs Planned/Long Runs Completed: 5/5
Donuts Burned: 149.82 (my favorite statistic on Dailymile)
Current Book: Earlier this month, I finished the third book in the Twilight series, Eclipse. I will hopefully get through Breaking Dawn on my upcoming trip to Seattle.
Current Shame-Inducing Guilty Pleasure: The Secret Life of the American Teenager. Could that show be anymore of a train wreak? Probably not. But I can't stop watching.
Current Colors: Turquoise and Orange
Current Drink: Water. Lots of it.
Current Song: Secrets - OneRepublic
Current Triumph: I killed my races in August. On the 12th, I finished 1st in my division at the Moonlight 4 Miler in 32:13. And then, on the 22nd, I finished 3rd at the Pink Power Sprint Tri without a single minute of bike or swim training in over two years. I'm feeling kind of confident right now.
Current Goal: Remain injury-free through this training cycle and demolish my half marathon PR at the You Go Girl! Half Marathon on September 26th. Tall Mom is pacing me for this race and I have SUPER HIGH hopes!
Current Blessing: Pretty much everything. Life is pretty sweet right now. And I don't take that for granted.
Current Excitement: Did you know that Kindergarten starts in 6 days? And that preschool starts in 12? I might be slightly excited for that. Just saying.

Congratulations on your first 200+ month! August was a milestone month for me too (first over 300 miles).
AWESOME month! congrats on breaking 200 miles!

Eclipse was the best by far. Read Breaking Dawn, but don't get your hopes up too high. I was glad my sis in law told me that! Can't wait for you to come up for the half and meet you. You are gonna rock it!

Nice job lady!!
Heres to a fantastic September :)
Your stats put me to shame. Hehe... Anyway, I tagged you for an award on my blog. :-)
Holy Cow - great job on the miles.
awesome august! nice job!
I think I may be more excited for that half than you.
I really believe that all the boastful talk aside, you really are in such a great postion training and mentally to really enjoy getting a solid PR.
I am thankful to follow along as a younger runner gets some of these milestones and shows so many that being a mom doesn't mean giving up being a runner, business woman, volunteer, person, _______ fill in the blank.
fantastic effort, thanks for sharing, well impressed, lots of claps and whoops all the way from England, very inspiring.
