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've been running just to keep fit for a few years now - from 5 to 10k a go, 2-3x per week - but never done a race. So my very first race, the Spartan Race in Cambridge, is coming up next month, 19 September. It's technically a 5k, although it seems to be a cross between Calvinball and an obstacle course. I plan to run it in a costume.

Thank you - I plan to do that. A friend is coming to take photos.
