Well folks, fall is officially....really close. The end of summer is always a little bittersweet. I never want it to end and, at the same time, I'm kind of ready for it to end. I find that the start of a new season tends to be exciting, in it's own way. September, in particular, is a big month. Big for my girls because school starts, big for my high school cross country team because the season is officially underway, and big for me because I am dealing with both of those things. On top of that, I typically run a big (meaning, long) race in October which makes September a monster month for training. Got to keep things interesting, right? I am happy to report that I successfully completed everything on my
August "to-do" list and I thoroughly enjoyed each item. In the end, having to make sure that I accomplished these simple but important goals was so satisfying that I went ahead and created a new list for myself for September. Here's what I've got:
- Clean my car because there is sand, Pirate's Booty, and rubbers bands from the Rainbow Loom in every nook and cranny.
- Fix my record player and listen to old records (I've been saying this for a while, so I'm not holding my breath on this one).
- Read The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien (a recommendation from a friend & fellow coach)
- Run several 20+ mile runs. (oh, BOY!)
- Play soccer with my girls on the weekends.
- Turn off the A/C and open all the windows.
- Go apple picking with both my family & my high school cross country team.
- Go see live music with my music wingman, CJZ. (huge smile on my face. huge.)
----> Lord Huron & Alt-J @ the BofA Pavilion in Boston
- And, as always, listen to good music whenever possible.
Here's my September picks. Happy fall.
