Possible new name for 8th month

So im feeling pretty good about running right now. I know that is bizarre and strange and will probably change within the next 10 hours haha. I had a fairly good workout with anna on wednesday- 6x800 with generally 1:00 rest(one time it was 1:20 or so when we were waiting for jason and one time it was about 1:40 when i was changing my shoes into my FLATS). the course was the bottom part of the mcd course back and forth. the weather was very hot- we started the run at 330. the warmup was 3 miles. the pace was between 310 and 315 basically then i ran 250 on the last one to test out my foot. it got about a C+ really my plantar is doing pretty good my heel was a bit sore. i dont know what i should do about that except continue to treat it- remember the right one got better. Maybe 5 years from now i will be 100% healthy.

Anyway so that was good. then i did some light strides with Emily the next morning but no real run. Then pleasant 10k loop with beth and anna yesterday evening. Beths last run here for a while obv :( which is a boo. But she is off to learn about how to become a fabulous doctor so that is good. Then this morning i did a nice easy run with emily 4 miles relaxed. I like running slow in the morning for now.

I have a race schedule planned out pretty well for the fall. Also i just saw the BRRC trail race this sunday i think im gonna do it cuz not many people will be around to run i dont think. prob do the 11 mile one- shock haha but not too fast def maybe 7 min pace or a little slower.

Schedule is something like:

8/28 Shawan 5k
9/4 Ellicott City 10k- probable
9/18 Dickinson 8k
9/25 Bull Run 3m
10/9 Hunt Valley 5k
10/23 White Marsh 5k
11/5 UVA 8k?
11/7 Gerrys Race 8k
11/14 Mcd 8k (Veterans Day 10k- doubtful as its early am in dc day after state meet)

12/18 Celtic Solstice 8k

Also paul short is 10/1 but i dont think ill be in shape to justify the trip etc- next year. ALthough the one year i did run 28:xx there but its not really worth the trip to do that. Plus i think our race is early in the morning now id almost have to spend the night. Also it would be fun to do both the the 8ks in novemeber but i dont know if i can handle it. Anyway hopefully im healthy and motivated enough to do these races and do them well- i think i will be.
