Happy September! I’m so sad the summer is leaving us. I love long days and wearing flip flops everywhere. I’m sad to see the summer end but of course, as a runner, I’m looking very forward to cooler running temps. I never do a monthly recap but I figured it would be fun for a change of pace. I’m shamelessly stealing this format from my bestie, Red. At least I’m giving her credit right?
Run: 119 miles, hello marathon base building
Bike: 46 miles, this is much lower than I realized. I must get it together.
Swim: 6 miles, need to ramp this up for the 5K swim in January
Races: Courage to Tri sprint triathlon. Overall a fun race with a less than stellar 5K run. I blame the 119 miles of running this month (tired legs).
Current Reads: I have sadly not been reading much other than magazines and blogs. I need a new book. I did read the second Game of Thrones book but I’m in need of a change.
Current Obsession: I’ve been watching Dexter from the first season since I didn’t have Showtime before moving in with the S.O. I’m up to season 6 and I still can’t get enough. It’s held my attention for a lot longer than I expected.
Current Song: Katy Perry, Roar. Yup. She sucked me right in with this one. I’m not ashamed. You go Katy.
Current Need: Fast fingers for a very special registration tomorrow….
Current Triumph: A stellar 16 mile long run on Saturday. It was the confidence booster I needed. And, more importantly, a fantastic day fundraising for Cystic Fibrosis Cycle for Life.
Current Bane of My Existence: Extreme humidity.
Current Goal: To have more fun during this marathon training cycle. I realized that taking such a long break between marathons has made it very tough to get back on the wagon.
Current Indulgence: The occasional Saturday Coca-Cola.
Current Blessings: A pretty awesome boyfriend and fun new friends.
Current Excitement: Halloween is coming! A little beach staycation! A very big race registration!
How did your August go? Excited about Halloween too? (Yes, I know it’s a month away. Haha!)
Steal away my friend! It's a great way to wrap up a month, especially if you don't have much to say to begin with. Love you!
I love the new Katy Perry song so much its' the ringtone on my phone. And I still haven't gotten used to it so it freaks me out every time it rings. Oh, and I also hate the extreme humidity. It seriously needs to go away.
I'm with you on the Current Bane of [Your] Existence and Current Blessings. You're doing a 5k swim?? I'm not a swimmer, but that sounds like a lot!
Good luck tomorrow!!!!!!
Didn't we all steal the format from Red? It's so great that she is willing to share.
Nice month and recap. I don't like the humidity either:(
I was blasting Roar before Courage to Tri. I heart that song. And Dexter. Holy cow this season is awesome, you must get caught up!

I love Roar. I also love Halloween, and I'm pumped it's getting close! I'm also pumped that fall is getting close, so maybe this ridiculous humidity will go away.
I'm excited about the end of summer! Finally cooler days without this soupy humidity are coming and are going to stay for a while.
You really had a great running month! very cool.
BOOOOOOOO Blogger ate my comment and I'm too lazy to retype although maybe it'll show up anyway…
