    That is very tempting! I am always about inflicting unnecessary pain on myself... Unfortunately, that is a week after my 50k and also I will be Dayton, OH for my son's year end soccer tournament.

    You should check out the Another Dam 50K held near Dayton. It was my first 50k!

    Really bad month for total miles, but at least I ran on the last day! That is all that matters right! Saw some turkeys and a woodpecker. Danced with a dog briefly. Pretty normal humid run I guess. A bit slow. Definitely not in marathon shape anymore but could still run a 1/2 at any time at least. :)

    Ah well... tomorrow is a new day and a new month! :)

    Well, it is in the agenda cause I have not decided on it yet. Also, I am noticing I have at least one race missing from that list. I need to check my calendar and update it in the September thread...

    Last night had my final run for August.
    10 km Riverbank trails. Took me 4 km before I felt free and was able to get on pace. Did manage to finish strong.
    No where close to goal even with a HM race at the start of the month.

    Well, the seller went with the other offer, but that means we probably pushed them $25k+ over the asking price, and I feel weirdly good about that. It’s a great house and I hope the other buyers love it. Or that their *kitten* falls through and we get a call in a week or a month or so. ;)

    I did not go for my long run this morning, having had a very late night, but seeing as our schedule is suddenly much more open, I feel like we’re getting September off to a good start. Which, I suppose, means switching to the other thread...

    HA! Well we can mark it up that a much better deal awaits you. :D

    I was a complete fail on my August goal of 59 miles. Not even worth putting up totals it was so bad. Hoping I can get myself together, plan better, and Sept will be a new start.

    Every day is a new start! I am a big fan of setting absurdly easy-seeming goals, because it’s harder to make excuses not to go for them, and once you blow them away, you can always go for a stretch!

    I didn’t make my goal. I thought for sure I would, but I slacked off quite a. It in August. I feel enspired for Sept and with soccer practice for our daughter starting again next week I’ll have two nights were it will be hard to find an excuse. 5k Race next Saturday and debating on doing a Race day registration for a 5k tomorrow...here’s to September

    Well, the seller went with the other offer, but that means we probably pushed them $25k+ over the asking price, and I feel weirdly good about that. It’s a great house and I hope the other buyers love it. Or that their *kitten* falls through and we get a call in a week or a month or so. ;)

    I did not go for my long run this morning, having had a very late night, but seeing as our schedule is suddenly much more open, I feel like we’re getting September off to a good start. Which, I suppose, means switching to the other thread...

    Awesome!

    That's unfortunate. But I'm sure something better is in store for you, or this non purchase spared you from a different circumstance. Life has a weird way doing things and many times not how we want them, but in the end seems to fill what we need.
    I always give things a good shot, but i never push things. Sometimes if we push, it may happen but with difficult circumstances attached to it, or the event short lived costing more in money or grief in the long run.

    If it's meant to be it will be.

    I was a complete fail on my August goal of 59 miles. Not even worth putting up totals it was so bad. Hoping I can get myself together, plan better, and Sept will be a new start.

    Every day is a new start! I am a big fan of setting absurdly easy-seeming goals, because it’s harder to make excuses not to go for them, and once you blow them away, you can always go for a stretch!

    You are so right!

    Reason with sep my goal is the jogging on the treadmill a bit everyday not even counting distance. Wishing 🙂but not counting.
    But I'm still dreaming of my goal to jog outdoors.

    @midwesterner85 aww. Love you did your best for the snake! I hope the little guy makes it. He surely wouldn't have if you hadn't intervened.
