This week’s Tuesday Topic is a FREE topic. Feel free to post any running-related blog post. Remember to link up with Jenn and Zenaida! Visit at least two of the other linked posts – the more the merrier! Remember to come back for later linkers!
Let me tell you about how June is going for me:
Mileage: To date I’ve run 26.99 and walked 6.53 miles.
Run the Year 2024: I signed up to run and walk 2,024 miles this year. So far I have completed 178.16 miles (per the RTE Tracker). I am training for the Chicago Marathon and I am excited to see how it will go and to see how many miles it will add to this goal.
Current Book: I finished reading“The Bad Muslim Discount”, “The Last Thing He Told Me”, and now am reading “The Unsinkable Greta James”. I am liking the book. It reminds me of my cruise to Alaska and now I want to go on another cruise.
Injuries: None. My knees don’t hurt anymore and the pain with plantar fasciitis comes and goes. I will be running more and I don’t want this injury to affect my training . I have an appointment with a podiatrist next week and hopefully we can find a solution (maybe a cortisone shot).
Races: None.
Health: I am doing OK. I am still dealing struggling with hot flashes and the weight gain. I had some blood work done and my A1C level came back as pre-diabetic. I couldn’t believe it. This is the 2nd time it has happened. I see how much diabetes has affected my mom and it frightens me that one day I will be diabetic too.
School: The last day of Summer School is Friday. I will miss some of the students. There is one that is clingy and always wants to be next to me. Another one likes hugging me.
What I am looking forward to next month: I am going to Minnesota for a few days. I still need to find an Airbnb. There aren’t too many places available and the ones that are available are too expensive. We’re talking $800-900 a night for a house – there is a house for $4,000 per night! I realize it is cheaper than a hotel but that much money for a place in Minnesota? Or is that what the rate is now?
The topic for next week: Your 2024 mid-year review. Feel free to write about this or any running-related topic. We hope you’ll link up with us!
