Mid-August already?

Whew. Vacation then school starting then BAM, it's the middle of August before you know it.

Got an event this weekend - GO RUCK Black Box Basic #2 in Savannah, GA. It's different from a standard Basic challenge, but similar format (maybe?). They're being super secretive about it, but it's with Cadre Barbarossa again, same as my events from February. 

Unfortunately, I've had minimal training time to prep for this so I'm kind of going into it not knowing what to expect.

Monday

1 mi run + 1.6 mi pup walk

Intended to do some ruck strength but just didn't get to it. 

Tuesday

7.09 mi @ 9:04/mi

Made it downtown to run with the group this morning, was hopeful for some rain but only got sprinkles. It might as well have rained because dang it was humid. 

Wednesday

5.2 mi @ 8:54/mi

Planned to switch the typical Thursday distance with Wednesday in order to rest up a little for the weekend event. USC Loop and kept it moderate, no accidental progression this time 😂 Thought it was going to be a little cooler but the sun was quite hot in midday. Ready for some fall temps, please!

Thursday

4.77 mi @ 8:55/mi

Well, I was aiming for 3-4 miles with the downtown group but our loop went a little farther than anticipated. At least the temps were a little better today, and got some pretty sunrise as reward!

Friday

1.5 mi pup run

Thought the pupper would want to go for a little more, but she was being lazy and I didn't feel like fighting her. 

Saturday

1mi riverfront run + GORUCK Black Box Basic #2

Ran 1 mile on the riverfront before heading to the Black Box Basic: Event Report

Darkness along the Riverfront

Sunday

2 mi @ 9:57/mi avg + 1.5 mi pup walk 

Did a short run around the neighborhood as a recovery loop then walked laps with the pup at baseball practice. It was quite hot and we ended up camped in the shade by the end!
