Run the Year Motto:  Run, Crawl, Walk, Conquer, Dominate 2,016 miles in 2016

August 2016 update:  BIRTHDAY month – week on Cape Cod, chicken soup for the soul 🙂

Similar to July, fell behind on total miles but overall trained consistent.  Issues mostly mental while awaiting a diagnosis.  Solid [medical] plan now in place – will catch up run totals this Fall.  Biggest struggle?  GERD diet.  Not an easy adaptation.

2 month focus (September & October): STAMINA

Marathoning 7 of the next 9 weeks.  Ran 14 consecutive weeks Fall 2015 – totally doable.  Mentally on board, gonna finish STRONG.

Race ReCap:  Kept the streak alive at 33 months.  Finished marathon #68 in Santa Rosa CA (new California PR time).

Mileage ReCap:  Lagging behind, ended August at 1,313 miles (31 miles short of goal).

…remember, if you want to change your body, exercise.  If you want to change your life, become a runner.
