an amazing likeness
Welcome to September. The morning sunrises are later and evening sunsets earlier, so off to dig the headlight out of storage and charge it up. Boxes of late season excess from backyard gardens are common in the lunch room at work, and I admit to being a bit tired of fresh corn and tomatoes; but the pickle jars popping are welcome reminders of zesty goodies to come. Many of us here in the far northeast do not have AC in homes, so the departure of the humidity for September's cool nights is long overdue.
Time to post those hard-earned, sweaty and muggy August miles, race results and running achievements.
In recognition of all he's been through medically recently, I'll leave you this month with a photo of Twocat finishing the last 24hr relay leg on the beaches of Coastwalker's hometown with best wishes for quick healing and return to his normal running health.
Acceptable at a dance, invaluable in a shipwreck.

Perfect, milktruck! And thanks for doing this.
I celebrated my birthday in August by competing in a 5k with my granddaughter--we had a great time. I took 1st place in the 50+ division.

227.3 miles for me for August. Hey, if you round down, that's a prime! Had a couple of half marathons in August, 1st in AG in one and 6th overall female in the other (no age groups). August was another month of increasing miles for me. Yay! (and more than Mike E!)
Thanks for a good start and terrific shot of Twocat, Milktruck.
172 August RW miles - a monthly high for me. 1st in RW div in the Saunder's 10K - I earned my race shirt!

Without ice cream there would be darkness and chaos.

152.6 miles for August. On track for 1500 (revised that down due to the injury) for the year. No August races.
Out there running since dinosaurs roamed the earth
Thank you milktruck.
170.6 for me in August.
Thanks, milktruck!
Aug: 351.2 mi
2018: 2,158.2 mi
No races, but a couple mileage PRs — biggest month, including my biggest week (85.3).
It was a good month. 141 miles & 1146 YTD. Maybe I'll still make my goal of 1800 for the year.

Thanks, Milktruck!
35.1
I think that's an all-time low. In addition to my new normal low-mileage, the storm, tree removal, catching up, etc, took its toll.
Be safe. Be kind.
Thanks Milktruck! 202 Miles for August, 1363 for the year. 1 trail half with 2nd AG and 10th overall.
