Weekly Check-In

How are your last weeks of summer (winter for those down under) training going? Any races coming up for you?

Quote for today is from yours truly:
Running makes us feel alive and keeps the demons at bay so we run. It's not a competition with anyone else and that includes our past selves and our future selves. We run because it makes us feel good.

And a question - what's your favorite running music?

I always bring my iPod but lately I've been preferring podcasts with some entertaining conversation over music. I'll probably go back to mostly music when the winter comes and I move to running inside, because it gets too loud in the gym to make out words. I mix up all kinds of music but some of my favorites for running are U2 and Coldplay and REM.

I did about 20 miles this week! I've been working at keeping that up as a consistent goal, but it'll be a challenge heading into the next few weeks with school starting.

I intend to do a 10K on October 2nd. I should go ahead and sign up for that now.
