Last weekend of the month

Last weekend of the month is already here! Prior to this weekend, a total eclipse occurred on Monday in certain parts of the world; where I live, about 78 %. Also, hurricane Harvey began and went through much of texas, causing great damage.

Saturday agenda-race?

Here is what I found on the last Saturday of the month:

1. rampage 5k
2. tutu 2 mile fun run
3. greek 5k (fun run)
4. down2earth trail runs

Unfortunately, I didn't race for the following reasons:

1. not cleared to run
2. projected to rain
3. a bit far (naples) or only a fun run, except the latter (trail)

I opted to train instead, but was attacked early in by a bee, forcing me to jog back; I finished walking at home.

Sunday agenda-race?

Here is what I found on the last Saturday of the month:

1. summers end 5k fun run

Besides not being cleared to run, I passed on the afformentioned for the following reasons:

1. fun run
2. far (palm beach)
3. nite event

Therefore, time to train. I completed 3 1/2 miles. Please wish me luck for a better month coming up; this one was disastrous for me.

Total eclipse weekend

Total eclipse weekend. The event actually will occur on Monday, along with the first day of school but this weekend precedes it. It seems like a total eclipse on races as well.

Saturday agenda-race?

Here's what I located the Saturday prior to the eclipse:

1. jasper highlands half (TN)
2. ft Desoto du/tri

You can automatically rule out the former (out of FL); I only picked it because like the name. I passed on the latter due to both distance and lack of training. Instead I decided to train locally.

 Sunday agenda-race?

Here's what I located the Sunday prior to the eclipse:

 I couldn't find any so a training I went.

Near mid month crisis

Near mid month crisis is here! Officially on Tuesday; along the way, I have jury duty and physical therapy.

Saturday agenda-race?

Here is what I considered for today:

1. 13.1 grand rapids
2. cape 5k

You can automaticaly rule out the former (out of FL). I passed on the later (west side of FL) and instead, did some training.

Sunday agenda-race?

Here is what I considered for this day:

1. trilogy #3 du/tri

Let's try this clint style:

The good: I went to the aforementioned event and volunteered, no wind
The bad: hot and humid
The ugly: didn't compete

First weekend of the month

First weekend of the month is here! And it is hot as heck!

Saturday agenda-race?

Here is what I found for the first Saturday of the month:

1. greyhound dash 5k
2. furnace 5k
3. loggerhead tri
4. cobra 5k

I did the latter because it was closest in proximity. However, it still was far (Boynton beach)! Yesterday, I went to a specialist and was still not given the all clear to run, so I walked. I actually did better than expected but no award for that; I did get a finisher medal.

Sunday agenda-race?

Here is what I found for the first Sunday of the month:

1. wob 4k

Guess what I did? Well, I experienced some back pain and didn't recover with enough time to make the trip up (1 1/2 hrs) so I opted to train; I did over a 5k.
