2019 IMM Training - Week 18

My training was becoming pretty consistent and I was really happy to see that, now if I could start going to the gym at least 2-3 days a week or at least get some weight training in downstairs, that would be great. Let me be quick to state that August saw 131.1 miles for the month.
Week 18 - 41.1 miles
Tuesday - August 27 

Wednesday - August 28, technically I ran 7.1 miles but due to my hitting save instead resume at the end of my driveway, and not wanting to share that measly little .1, I am just showing the 7 miles.

Thursday - August 29, I ran that afternoon just before picking Dorian up from school. I was trying out my new hydration pack and I really like it. 

Friday - August 30

Sunday - September 1

2019 IMM Training - Week 17

   By week 17, things seemed to be looking up and I was feeling really good and motivated. At this point the marathon was 10 weeks out and I was feeling really excited about it. 
  I was able to get in 42 miles that week, running 6 days this time and getting in another 16 mile long run.
Tuesday - August 20

Wednesday - August 21
I ran that evening, spending most of my time looking for Mittens so I walked quite a bit.

Thursday - August 22

Friday - August 23

Saturday - August 24 I went out for another run.

Sunday - August 25, I was able to get up and get out the door for the long run. I was also privileged to a pretty sunrise and some photo opportunities. The 63 degrees felt really good, and was the main reason I dragged myself out of bed.

2019 IMM Training - Week 16

  I had convention on August 17 and August 18, so I had to get my long run of 16.1 miles in during the week. I was actually very surprised that I was able to do that, and was able to stay awake pretty much all day.
But I only got 32.3 miles for that week, and only 4 days of running so I still wasn't up where I needed or wanted to be.
I was definitely putting more focus on my running weight lifting, though.

2019 IMM Training - Week 15

Obviously my training hasn't been consistent, week 14 only saw 15.7 miles and week 15 only saw 22.6 miles, but I was slowly getting back up there.
I only got in 3 days of running, and 1.4 miles of hiking.
I finally put together my weight bench which gives me the ability to do more strength training at home when I can't make it to the gym (which is a lot).

2019 IMM Training - Week 14

   This week was also like 6 weeks ago so it's not fresh in my memory, we went to French Lick, Indiana that week and enjoyed a cabin out in the wilderness. I kept up with some running but not a lot, the drive from our cabin to the road was difficult and hilly but even worse on the way back up it.

I only ran 15.7 miles this week, but enjoyed myself. Some of these pics were the day we headed to French Lick, which was Sunday July 28. I am showing pics of Mittens because she disappeared August 17th, and I miss her very much. I had finished up my 15 miler and was trying to put my hydration pack away, but she had decided it was a great bed.

2019 IMM Training - Week 13

   I am so freaking horrible at this, I used to be really freaking good and keeping up with my blogging. But I guess since the last two months have been difficult to get runs done, I haven't felt very motivated to even blog about it. 
Anyways, I hate having to put so much into one blog but I also can't recall a whole lot 7 weeks ago. Since I take a lot of pics, I will post the mileage and the pics of each week.
Week 13 - 40.5 Miles
