august recap

august was huge for me in many ways.

lots of things happening.

running-wise this was a huge PR month for me.

i ran 191.39 miles this month.

791.88 miles year to date.

getting closer to my goal of 1000 mi for the year.

had 4 long runs this month: 16, 12, 18, & 20

i ran my first 20 miler

and it was AWESOME.

i have my hydration/fueling dialed in.

such a relief.

had my very first run where i averaged

 under a 9:00 pace for 10 miles.

i'm feeling really strong,

and getting super excited for the marathon.

new goals in mind...

planning out my racing strategy...

deciding on a cute outfit to wear for the big day

(you know that is super important LOL)

and trying to stay focused.
