Notes:
- Friday morning was the first time I went to the pool and found it unexpectedly closed (for maintenance). Good thing it’s on my way home and I didn’t waste any time driving there. Unfortunately, the next available swim time was weekend open swim, which is more like family play time at the pool (understandably). Oh well! I still got a swim in Saturday, despite a few lane changes (when lanes opened) to avoid people walking in front of me while I was swimming laps.
- Monthly recap time. September was a bit of a crap month (excuses: having a cold, travel, hot temps, work craziness, laziness). I am looking forward to a more productive October! In September I ran 80.4 miles (18 runs), cycled 62.2 miles (1 outdoor ride, 4 indoor rides) and swam 2,940 yards (3 swims). My coldest run was 59°F and my warmest was 90°F (hottest of the year!). I taught 8 strength classes, and 1 fitness boxing class. I actually did one strength session at home, too, woot woot!

Sounds like September was actually a pretty good month given everything you had going on 🙂
Thank you 😀 😀 😀
I know it’s all relative, but your crap month of running would be my month of highest miles ever, LOL. Still, here’s hoping October is much better for you.
Everything IS relative! I’m sorry – I hope it didn’t make you feel crappy!
Oh no, no worries there! I’m always impressed by how much you do, but I also know my limits, LOL.
