Hello! How was your Labor Day weekend?
Things were pretty quiet in blog-land, so I decided to try and take it easy here too.
I made some Quinoa Salad with a Citrus dressing.
And hung out at a BBQ on Sunday. There was vodka watermelon involved – that’s all I’m going to say about that.
August is long gone and I was waiting to do my highlights so here they are…
Favorite August Run, Eat and Repeat
Run:
Ah! This is a hard call because I ran two races in August – a 10k and a marathon on opposite ends of the country. They were very different experiences and I loved them both so it’s a tie.
Beach to Beacon 10k – Had a BLAST!
Santa Rosa Marathon – hard race, but good for me.
Eat:
I had the most awesome, fancy dinner in San Diego but just realized I just posted it as a silent Saturday and didn’t take any pictures of my food! I have this shot and a pic of my drink. #BloggerFail
So, my favorite eat will be my Egg Cups Recipe
Post I’d like to Repeat:
The Disneyland Tweet Up on Friday was super super fun! Hello – when do you get to ride the teacups in the middle of a run?!
September Stuff:
I have no races planned for September, but I am going out of town this weekend, spending a week in FL and my SIL’s shower is this month too!
Question: What was your August Highlight?
Hmm…August didn’t turn out that great for me, health wise. A runner friend thought I was “weak” and “lacking in Chi” and suggested I take a fitness drink supplement. W.O.R.S.T T.H.I.N.G that ever happened to me; instead of “flying performance”, I ended up with labored breathing, my run paces dropped, heavy feeling, foot numbness etc. Anyway, that’s behind me and I’m looking to start September clean.
My August highlight was probably the race I ran last weekend. It was a 3NauticalMile run (3.45 miles) and I finished in 30:46 and 6th in my age group. It was an awesome race and just the comeback I needed after a crappy race in July!
August was weird. Moved across the country (again) into a bit of a unsettled situation (again) with some stressful situations going on. Buuutttt, i am now with so many of the friends that have made my life, and am prioritizing their role in my life. Being back with them is def the highlight, so thanks for the reminder to look for the highlight!
Sounds like the rain before the rainbow 🙂
My August highlight would have to be my wife becoming an RN. After many years of school, and late nights of studying it was great seeing that it is finished and was worth it.
Congrats to her!!!
My August highlight was running 9 miles! 🙂
Getting a PR in a Half Marathon and 10K!
My August Highlights… I ran my first 10k and photographed my first wedding… all in the same day!
Wow, it seems so long ago,now but my highlight was a long weekend in Stockholm for a wedding. Loved it there. August was great but I have lots of fun plans for the Fall, too.
My August highlight was definitely moving to Chicago! I am hoping my September highlight will be focusing on training more for my upcoming marathon.
August was a hard month for my family – we had lots of not so good news and our family dog passed. Anyways, looking up for a better Sept!
I’m sorry Ali, that’s really rough. Hang in there! Best wishes and prayers for September.
August was a great month. I started it off with a half marathon PR, which was awesome! My stepson turned 6 and we had a birthday party for him. Plus, my son has become so much more active and it’s so fun to see his grown and learn. I think September will be even better!
Like you, I have no runs in September. But I have three in October!
My August highlight was the TT10K inaugural run. A toughie, but a goodie! 😀
My August highlight was going out East to Nova Scotia to visit family and relax by the ocean 🙂
Highlights of August included starting to run (seriously) again after an almost two-month hiatus!
August highlight = completing my first Whole 30 maybe?
That is hard! Good for you!!
August highlight(s) were two playoff hockey wins! One with each of my adult rec league teams. Sadly both were beaten the next week in heartbreaking fashion at the very end of the games. You win some, you lose some I guess.
August highlight — shoot I don’t know. But I know my September highlight will be our wedding this weekend! haha
Best wishes <3
My August highlight was PRing by 30″ per mile at the Team Championship race on August 3rd-that was totally unexpected and, one month later, I’m still surprised!
AWESOME!!!
August highlight for me was completing two half marathons since not having done one since June 1st. Neither were a PR but I was (mostly) satisfied with my finishing times.
August is a big month for me. It’s my birthday month and anniversary month so it was a fun one!
Fun fun! Happy birthday and anniversary!
O my gosh, those eggs in tortilla cups are so cute!
The highlight of my August was joining the cross country team at school. This will be my first collegiate sport, and I am so excited!
My August highlights would be PR’ing my 5K time (23:55) and achieving the first of what will be many new distance records in my marathon training (15 miles)!
Great job!
My August highlight was shaving over 21 minutes off my Iron Girl Syracuse time!
Wow! That’s awesome!
I wish someone would throw me a party every time I showered.
Ha!
All the pics of the Disneyland time looked like so much fun… jealous 🙂
Eggs in tortilla – YUMMY!
My highlight? Women of Faith weekend with friends.
My highlight was finally getting a job after graduating!
Visiting with friends! Bf bday too!
My August highlights were running a 5K personal best and visiting Vermont and New Hampshire!
August highlights include an 18-mile run followed by two (very painful!) bike races at the beginning of the month and Ironman Louisville at the end of the month. Too hard to pick just one!
August highlight has to be my 48 hour trip Upstate NY with my dog to the Adirondacks to a cottage along Lake Champlain. It was the most relaxing time. And I had a great run while I was up there. I also made S’mores dip.
Simplicity at its finest….Sigh!
Lake Champlain is beautiful! I grew up there in Plattsburgh, NY and still go back and visit quite a bit. 🙂
