Today I committed to running the Riley Trails half marathon on August 6th. My friend Melanie and her husband, who recently moved to Michigan from Minnesota, will be hosting my husband and me. We are really looking forward to seeing their new place and enjoying the nearby Lake Michigan beach.
Today I also ran a 5K training run. A couple weeks ago I traveled to Pinetop, AZ for a work trip and had the opportunity to run 2+ miles daily at 9,000 feet elevation. That training paid off today. Plans for the upcoming week include a 5 mile run. The heat is on, both literally and figuratively.
