    I got my packet from the Aim at Melanoma virtual run today.
    Dear Lord, it's the first time I've seen the actual medal.....I lost it.

    The medal turned out really nice. The whole packet was good.

    Disappointed, I had to cancel my Jimmy Fund walk today. My dad is dealing with stomach issues. Thankfully it's not anything too serious.

    Was supposed to be a long, slow run today. Despite advice, I couldn't stand to leave the app at home but I referred to it only for distance. Next time I will use a different strategy. I tried to imagine myself chatting and could have talked throughout the 10-mile run, but in the end, my pace was still faster than I think it should have been.

    Orrrrrr maybe I'm not pushing hard enough on my short runs.

    No goal for me this month, alas. This past week was just too hot. I should have gone out myself at dawn then walked while my daughter biked, but was persuaded to wait for her instead. Ten minutes in, she declared herself done and asked me to turn around at the mile bridge.

    On the plus side, I saw a cute little green snake poking his head out of the half-mile bridge.

    @juliet3455 thank you so much you made me cry. I’ve been a single mom to Skip since I adopted her at a year old and it’s not always easy being a single parent, but it’s very rewarding.
    @dbhawkins1010 I love the “environmental” name! We will do a bunch a track too. Please post some of your daughter!

    Skip had a great meet yesterday, she ran in the “championship” division running a 22:37 finishing 42 I think. Second meet in the row she looked so strong the whole race. I think the electrolyte water might have been the secret.

    Busy day I’ll have to catch up later.

    My legs were so tired from yesterday, I worked the concession stand at the little kids football games for 5 hours, then off to the meet and ran/walk around the course from 3 to 9:30. We had about an hour of so rain/lightening delay. Went out too late was it was 80 but just did 2 miles just to get them moving.

    9/1 - Rest day
    9/2 - 13.18 miles. Very slow, mostly walking. Really struggled with low BG throughout entire run. Depleted electrolytes and had cramping towards end and afterwards.
    9/3 - Rest
    9/4 - Cross train - hiked 10 miles.
    9/5 - Unplanned rest day - seems like I might have sprained left ankle.
    9/6 - 6.34 miles (plan was for 8, but trying to be easy on ankle ahead of HM on 9/9)
    9/7 - Unplanned rest - trying to rest ankle for HM and spare electrolytes
    9/8 - Rest
    9/9 - 12.74 Wabash Trace HM 2:02:08 (we all took a wrong turn shortly after start, causing the short distance)
    9/10 - Rest
    9/11 - Rest
    9/12 - 5 miles treadmill intervals
    9/13 - 8.04 miles
    9/14 - 5 miles treadmill, low BG issues and generally not good :(
    9/15 - Rest
    9/16A - 9.12 miles fasting, with electrolytes and yohimbine. Good BG's, indicating yohimbine is working to release stubborn fat, but slow run. Plan was for 18 miles today. Stopped for rain and because pace was so slow.
    9/16B - 5.01 miles - did not get to 18 today, but stopped because it was dark and I was worn out
    9/17 - Rest
    9/18 - Rest
    9/19 - 5.0 miles treadmill before weight lifting
    9/20 - Unplanned rest day. BG's high in the afternoon and I'm exhausted so going to bed early.
    9/21 - 5.0 miles treadmill before weight lifting
    9/22 - Rest
    9/23 - Unplanned rest (BG Issues)
    9/24 - 18.01 miles; everything went really well until about mile 12 when I started to feel muscle pains of electrolyte depletion. Swung by home and got 2 electrolyte tablets, but it wasn't enough. Walked most of the last 2 miles.

    I'm so far behind that I'm not going to reach goal
