Labor Day Weekend Runs

I headed home for the day Saturday so I decided to take advantage of a local trial I had never run before.  I wanted to change things up for my long runs, because the hills in Mt. Lebanon are beginning to wear my legs down.  I completed just over a Half Marathon through the trails of Twin Lakes, Greensburg, PA.

It was a nice easy run for me.  I never at any point was gasping for air or needing to stop.  I wanted to keep a nice slow pace despite my excitement for running in a new place.  My legs definitely felt it afterwards, but I rewarded myself(rather my mom did) with a nice frozen Skinny Vanilla Latte with a Protein Shot from Starbucks.  

I ended up finishing just over 100miles for the month of August.  This is about 30 miles under where I would have liked, but IT band issues held me back from accomplishing that.

After resting Sunday and enjoying some down time, I ran a nice light 5.3 mile run around my neighborhood.  I started to feel sick so I headed straight to the store for some Vitamin C and throat lozenges. Fingers Crossed.
