The end of August always makes me sad. The days get shorter. The temps get cooler. We start thinking about putting our boat away for winter. This year, however, I’m hoping that the fall brings healing to my heel and more pleasant running conditions.
August update: My goals were…
I am hoping to be pain-free! Nope! But not worse…
I am hoping to start running again! Yup but slowly…
I am hoping to gradually increase my mileage. Yup up to 16.5 miles weekly and a long run of 5.5 miles…
I am hoping to start training for Half Marathon #4. Sorta …see above…
I am hoping to run a 5k before the end of the month. Nope…not until I am pain-free!
More in August:
- I have played tennis.
- I finished my PT sessions.
- I’ve ordered orthotics.
- I have continued yoga.
- The weekends on Lake George have been great. 🙂
- My mentee had a baby boy!!!
- We survived Irene & a mini quake
So what’s in store for September??
- Hope to run pain-free
- Continue tennis & yoga once a week
