Looking Back: August
From hither on out, this infinite volition last called the "looking back" space. Before I become on, I am looking frontwards to Fall! Okay, instantly I am non simply all nearly looking back. August is ever a busy month: Last twelvemonth I studied for in addition to passed a licensing exam, took a opor-garai in addition to withal managed to run 189 miles (phew). This twelvemonth was a lot less study, but was withal packed enterprise every weekend of the month!
Running: For the starting fourth dimension time inward a long time, inward August I dropped below 100 miles. My catch (brain/legs, etc) is simply is non inward it. My full for the calendar month was nearly 85 miles of running. However, I am withal loving the outdoors! August also brought forty miles of cycling, 109 miles of hiking, 21 miles of walking, 1 opened upwardly H2O swim, 1 kayak trip in addition to 1 hr of forcefulness training. All inward all, this equals nearly 256 miles of "activity." I volition lead maintain what I tin get!
Reading: I read 4 books, in addition to none of them actually knocked my socks off.... The best 2 were probably The Boston Girl past times Anita Diamant in addition to Everything I Never Told You past times Celeste Ng.
Travel: Not a lot of running; non a lot of reading...but at that spot was a lot of travel. There were five weekends inward August in addition to I spent them inward five dissimilar places: Yosemite, Humboldt County (redwoods), Taylorsville (Dad's starting fourth dimension one-half marathon), Milan in addition to Chamonix (UTMB). Due to all of this, I lead maintain added a novel category, which I volition movement on to now...
Family, Friends in addition to Food: August actually is "family, friends in addition to food" month. The starting fourth dimension weekend was a bully trip to the lesser known regions of Yosemite park, aka, non the valley, where I spent simply about fourth dimension camping ground in addition to running amongst friends. The side past times side weekend was simply about other camping ground trip, but this fourth dimension it was inward the contrary direction, N along the coast, into the redwoods. It was bully hanging out amongst the "in-laws" in addition to my blood brother spell swimming, playing catchphrase in addition to drinking enough of mutual frigidity beer.
The side past times side weekend was ANOTHER camping ground trip, this fourth dimension amongst the whole fam damily, in addition to when I country whole, I hateful 3 (or four?) generations of crazy, dirty, active, fun in addition to loud menage unit of measurement members. It was a side of the menage unit of measurement that I don't run across every bit often, in addition to it was a lot of fun! My dad ran his starting fourth dimension one-half marathon in addition to kicked simply about major butt inward the procedure (first inward his historic menses grouping in addition to seventh overall)!!
After that, it was off to Europe for my annual vacation, where I ate baguettes in addition to cheese, drank wine, hiked inward the Alps, cheered on my friend at UTMB in addition to inward full general had a lot of fun in addition to fourth dimension exploring the outdoors. I tired myself out then much, that I never fifty-fifty had fourth dimension to read the 10 books (or fifty-fifty 4!) that I brought amongst me on my Kindle. Every black was a adept night's slumber in addition to I woke upwardly each twenty-four hours cook for simply about other adventure. Now I am busy resting from my vacation....just kidding!
