Yes, I stole the slogan from the Blackhawks!

It’s time to check in with August. Already? I can’t believe it!
This month was exciting, exhausting, emotional and truly just flew by.
August Recap
1. Increase distance runs for marathon prep
-Let’s just say that I have a ways to go here…like 26.2 miles! I have gotten in a few midrange runs in, but 10 miles max!
2. Complete my first Olympic distance triathlon.
-Done and Done! I rocked this race and loved every moment of it. Read my race recap and check out some pictures!
3. Continue to find time for yoga and meditation.
-I am failing here (and trust me I could have used it this month).
4. Cook new recipes with seasonal produce.
-This was a fun goal to accomplish. Check out CSA dinners HERE and HERE and my fresh fruit salsa HERE.
Now on to September…
I have ONE GOAL (hence the title) for this month…TRAIN, TRAIN, and TRAIN!!! It is time to get serious about the marathon, so from now until October 9th, there will be limited HFCS, alcohol, soda, and processed sugars and maximum time spent pounding the pavement in my running shoes (and of course sleeping and soaking in a hot tub)! Wish me luck!
