Well Hello August….you sure did make an appearance quickly!
So it’s the beginning of a new month – what’s on deck for August?
I’ll be working through weeks 4 – 7 of my 10k training program. That means a minimum of 54 miles, a fair amount of cross-training, Pilates, and weights, plus the introduction of my first tempo run and speedwork! THAT should keep me busy 🙂
But since the theme around here is usually “Motivation Monday” – I decided to add a little extra incentive and today signed on for MCM Mama’s “Mama Goes Masters” Virtual Race! MCM Mama has come up with a fun virtual race to celebrate her 40th birthday – check it out HERE I’ll be doing the 4 mile option which fits nicely into my training plan and should help push me to pick up the pace a little!
What have you got on tap this month?
My plan for August is to work myself out of my running funk and put in the miles I need to get through the Chicago marathon in one piece. Yay for continuing your 10k training and have fun with the 4!
PS: IMO, there are plenty of races just as good or better than an RnR for alot less $$.
