So I'm looking at my August calendar and I see the following:
Lollapalooza 8/2-4
Iron Girl Triathlon 8/11
Fort2Base 8/25
Marathon Training AND Kickball ongoing Saturdays in August
THIS IS THE EMPTIEST MY CALENDAR HAS LOOKED IN MONTHS!!!
So it's kinda really empty and it seems like as good as a time as any to pick some AUGUST GOALS!
1) I'm using Iron Girl as another "test" triathlon to get ready for the Tri Rock Lake Geneva Triathlon on 9/14. Basically I need to get used to the whole transition/switch up the sport thing. And I really gotta get comfortable in the open water and the bicycle. This is the same goal I've had since last February and it's starting to get a bit frustrating to be honest.
2) Strength training! I did A LOT of strength training while I was injured and then I just sort of forgot about it. It's just too easy to go for a run sometimes rather than go to the gym and lift weights.
3) Less running. I need to stick to Run Less Run Faster plan of only running 3 times a week. Anytime I over do it then my legs really feel it and I want to go injury free this marathon training cycle. Consequently I need to start actually doing my PT exercises.
4) See more movies!!! I've been neglecting my first love and I'm going to change that soon!
What are your August goals?
Thanks for stopping by my blog and offering your feedback on the Fort2Base Race. You'll have to stop and say hello if we cross paths at another race!
