Any issues/vents/complaints? Vent away! I only have a couple more track/velodrome races. Event though there are races until the end of Sept., I transition into training for cyclocross in mid-August. This weekend is the last big race I'll do, and I'm only doing the first day.

Bonus: Tell me the last H&F thing you purchased. Do you love it? Hate it? Indifferent? It was new valve stems for my tubeless road tires. It's more required than love/hate. Tires don't keep air without them.

All of these runs are at the indoor Y track. Going by time and trying to keep heart rate low.

M - 40 minute run
T - rest
W - 40 minute run
R - 25 minute run
F - 45 minute run
S - rest

Any issues/vents/complaints? Vent away!
Not really. It is hot so I am running inside and taking advantage of the free Y childcare.

Any AW's or brags?
Coming back PP has been easier than I expected. I am incorporating regular core and strength work in addition to runs which I think is making a big difference.

I think I bought a tank top at target last year. It is fine. I want a new fancy watch but its hard to justify when my current one is still working fine.

What are you training for? Date? 9/7 Trail Half Marathon, 11/23 JFK 50 miler

Training schedule for the week? Mon - 5 mi, Tues - 8 mi, Wed - 5 mi, Thur - swim, Fri - 20 mi, Sat - 10 trail miles

My legs are tiiired. This weather sucks for long runs, so sweaty and humid. I've been running my long runs solo and it's been rough. Blah. 

Any AW's or brags? We had DD's unicorn birthday party on Sunday and I'm pretty proud of how the cake turned out. The flowers and unicorn horn are inedible and bought off amazon. There was 6 rainbow layers inside and when I cut it, all the little girls oohed and ahhed. It was cute. My last few cakes haven't been too great so I'm happy this one turned out good. 





Bonus: Tell me the last H&F thing you purchased. Do you love it? Hate it? Indifferent? I got a Nathan Hydration Running Vest. I like it fine enough. I would prefer to run with nothing, but it's a necessary evil. I also just got a new gym backpack after my other one had foundation explode all over it.  It's bigger than my other one maybe a little too big, but it's nice to have a new one.

I'm struggling to keep up with the core and strength workouts. If I do one of each every week I feel good. And I'm not consistently getting those in. I know they are important, but I am so overwhelmed with running and work and volunteering and just, life, that I keep skipping them.



Any AW's or brags?
I hit my interval paces yesterday! I was on a treadmill, so had the benefit of a semi-AC'd gym, but I hit them. And they felt as easy as they should feel. When I've done them outside, it's SO HARD and I struggle so much to breath, due to humidity, heat, and pollen. So I'm taking this as a small win.


Bonus: Tell me the last H&F thing you purchased. Do you love it? Hate it? Indifferent? I went on an H&F spending spree this week. I bought a new pair of shoes - they arrive tomorrow. I assume I'll like them b/c they are the same brand/style as what I currently wear and love. Today, I bought 2 new pairs of earbuds (I don't know if I'll like either, but my wireless ones broke today) - they arrive Friday. And, I bought a new sports bra (no idea if I'll like it, thank god for free returns). Everything I bought was on sale, which makes me feel slightly better about this.
