I think this heat & humidity is turning my brain to mush. I can’t put a coherent thought together…but then, this is why then invented bullet points (isn’t it?)
- I blew my streak of early morning runs today – slept through my alarm and then it was too late to get out before the heat and getting the kids off to camp. So it looks like I’m moving my tempo run to Sunday.
- This is what the forecast looks like for the next few days. Friday’s 11-miler should be interesting…I may be looking to set a new PR for how early I can get out on the road. Tell me again why I registered for a half marathon in August?!
- I’ve been trying to plan a family vacation for the fall — the kids have a couple of long weekends so we thought we’d try to take advantage of the airline fares being lower then. Also wondering if I can loop in a race into these plans if the timing/location works.
- I’m still all over the place on fall races – the only one I’ve registered for is the Tufts 10k for Women. I ran this race last year with my friend Kathy and had a great time. As soon as it was over I knew I wanted to run it again!
Have you figured out your fall race plans yet or will you just wing it?
can you believe the heat? we have a 16 miler on Friday am. We are leaving at 4:30 am. Good luck with your run. My fall race is the Chicago Marathon, but I am starting to hate summer training:(
Seems like we’re both in the same region. I’m also doing a half in August (YuKanRun) and am hoping the Gloucester/Rockport cool breeze will pull through for us. Also signing up for Cape Ann 25K on Labor Day, all in prep for Cape Cod in October.
Tufts 10K is such a great race – have fun!!
This heat is ridonculous! It didn’t get out of the 80’s here last night. I’ve got a half Saturday that I may not be suffering through.
Stay cool!
Fall plans for me include 2 marathons. What was I thinking??
Ugh this heat is killing my runs too! I did my tempo on the TM Monday because I gave in…I ran the Tuft’s for the first time last year! My younger sister (14) and I ran it with our mom for her 50th birthday! Loved the race and will definitely be signing up again!
I am signed up for the Amica Newport Marathon in Oct. in RI…I am also debating signing up for a 25k in Cape Ann in Sept. for training
Be careful Friday! This heat is ridiculous! I’m kind of winging my fall races but I hope to do the Harwich Half and the Amica Half in Newport. I love running in the fall!
I refused to let the heat beat me but I am getting pretty worn down from it.
I have one big race planned and hope to do a few more but I will probably wing it. I like smaller trail races anyway and they usually allow for last minute sign ups.
keep cool
Fall is a perfect time of year for a race, hope you find something good!
No races for me until the fall!
