    Hi all. I haven't run the last 2 days. Life got in the way big time. My Mom passed away Sunday morning while Skip and I were trying to get to her in Florida. I probably won't make my goal, though we both packed running gear. :smile:

    @skippygirlsmom - my thoughts are with you and Skip!

    Good point on the strength training - I've been letting that slack recently; I REALLY should try to be more consistant. Maybe we should introduce a strength training for runners ticker as well :)

    @_nikkiwolf_ This just got me thinking, would it be completely out of line if we start a discussion thread under the group on strength training progress? I could use some company :) I vaguely recall you may be using YAYOG, is that right? I am using the App but customized the workout.

    Woke up this morning, and my quads feel just fine! My cold is still kicking my rear, so I'm not sure if I'll make my return to running tomorrow or not. If I do, it will be an easy 3 miles or so, just enough to get me over my mileage goal for the month. Goal is to get back into base building training next week with the new month. Reassessing my training, and I'm planning on slowing down a lot, and working on keeping the 80/20 split much better this time around.

    9/1 - 4 miles. Weather was beautiful! Had to cut it short because I hit snooze too many times.
    9/2 - Unplanned rest day. Apparently yesterday's snoozing was due to impending illness. First virus of the new school year.
    9/3 - 8.09 mile group run. Again, beautiful weather! Plus, virus seems gone.
    9/4 - Normal rest day. Way overate at family picnic.
    9/5 - 5.06 miles.
    9/6 - Bodypump class, followed by Abs/Core class.
    9/7 - 4.03 hot, humid, sticky miles...summer is not over yet!
    9/8 - 5.2 miles at Trek/treadmill class.
    9/9 - Managed to turn off my alarm and oversleep by 2 hours = no run or spin class :-1:
    9/10 - 9.4 mile group run. Another gorgeous morning for a run!
    9/11 - Insanely busy church/family activity day.
    9/12 - 4.7 miles. Getting spoiled by this weather.
    9/13 - Life got in the way.
    9/14 - 5.08 miles...seriously, this weather is fantastic for running!
    9/15 - 4.06 miles. Legs felt like bags of wet sand.
    9/16 - Spin Class. Missed it the last two weeks, so it felt difficult in a good way.
    9/17 - 3.33 miles. Short run before race tomorrow.
    9/18 - 10.15 miles. Capital Pursuit 10-Mile. Love this race! "Serious" runners for the most part, so it tends to be fast. Weather was beautiful, if a bit hot the last two miles. Time about what I expected based on my training level the last few months. Loved it!
    9/19 - Rest day. Very sore.
    9/20 - 5.05 miles. Beautiful morning.
    9/21 - 4.02 humid, sticky miles. Someone forgot to tell Mother Nature that summer's over!
    9/22 - 5.02 miles. First day of fall...77° and humid at 5:00 a.m.!
    9/23 - Spin Class.
    9/24 - 4.75 miles. Was supposed to be 11 mile group run at 6:00, but family life got in the way. By the time I went out, it was 89°...just didn't have it in me.
    9/25 - Rest day.
    9/26 - 5.02 miles. Gorgeous morning! Fall seems to have arrived!
    9/27 - 4.36 miles. Fabulous weather, again!
