   Another Thursday adventurous run with Bryan - we started late, thinking all the storms had rolled through the area. It started to drizzle halfway through our run and the last two miles were done in a complete downpour with flooded streets. We had a lot of fun, though!

   My first time running before work down in Florida, and I really enjoyed it. With this route, I get to run toward the beautiful sunrise along the water on my way back, which is great motivation. I was surprised at how dark it was for the majority of my run, but I still enjoyed it!

   What a difference the weather makes - had a much, MUCH better run today to kick off base-building month before I start (gasp) marathon training 10/1.

   I enjoyed a nice bay-breeze while watching the fish jump. A lot of people were out and about before starting the Labor Day holiday. Now, time for the beach!

   Physically, this was not an enjoyable run by any means as the intense heat and humidity certainly humbled me. Luckily, I had some fantastic moral support from Meghann A. and a few others. If not for them, I probably would have been crying alone on Davis Island... :) Lessons learned: run earlier, increase salt intake, and bring my water bottle.

   My friend and I decided to venture out for a run due to the insane cabin fever we've got as a result of the RNC. Felt like a bit of an urban obstacle course/scene from a movie as we had to hurdle barricades, run on busy roads, follow dirt paths and got caught in heavy rain... the Salvation Army even offered us water. Fun, though!

   Humid and windy. Tropical Storm Isaac wasn't doing much, so I decided to head out for a run. Unfortunately, with all the RNC craziness, I couldn't go too far and had to result to loops around Harbour Island. Better than a treadmill, but still too monotonous for my tastes.

    I decided to run on the Custis Trail today since I knew it would be my last opportunity to do so before the big move to Florida. This trail is where I fell back in love with running about 2 years ago, and I had an amazing run today to cap it all off.

    I took all of last week off to recharge and get healthy after I came down with a nasty cold. Today was my first day back and I wanted to run further, but decided not to push it. The next two months are dedicated to base building and then marathon training begins. So exciting!
