And the humidity won!
I am back from vacation and rocking a nasty headcold (love the kiddos, but I always seem to sick after time with them!) but I have still been dilligent in my training. I have gone for runs after work 3 times this week. Last night was a killer though. I figured the thunderstorms that came through would kill the humidity. My 3.5 miles last night proved otherwise. I finished and was glad to have gotten the miles in and done, but I felt like my legs were lead and I had been run over by a truck. Carrying water. And the water spilled all over me. I was slow and sluggish, a hot sweaty mess, but I plugged through it, which is important for me to keep in mind!
The weekend should bring some relief, so I have 6 miles planned. I have not even seen 6 miles since early June. Haven't even thought about tackling 6 miles since after my last race. But, I have the Army Ten Miler coming up, plus I plan to run the Baltimore Half Marathon (hello hills) and the Marine Corps Marathon 10k (3 races, 3 straight weekends--yes, I have a death sentence!). With determination and some training plans from TMB Endurance Training (who I am emailing right after this blog post--go check her out and wish her luck in Chicago this weekend), I am putting together a course of action to help me get to a 2:35 half marathon time and to get under 2 hours for my TenMiler!
There is really not much else to report. I am finally going to put a post up about running safety--I just want to try and speak to some people at the local police department for suggestions and input there!
Happy Running and Happy August (seriously, where did this summer go?)

at least you put up a good fight and got a run in! that's seriously the biggest victory! wow, sounds like you're going to have a busy fall running season. but that will keep you motivated and you should have some great races!
