And just like that September arrived and finally brought some cooler weather with it! This was an interesting week that started hot and humid, then we had lots of rain, flooding, and tornado watches from Hurricane Ida, and ended nice and cool. I'm not convinced the heat is gone for good, but I'll take this break from it for now. Let's do a recap of this week as we are welcoming September and the nice weather it may bring.

Hopefully you already know the importance of rest days and take them regularly. Some runners need several rest days a week, while others can get by with just one. There are also runners who can take them less frequently, but they are more of the exception and not the rule. So what do you do with yourself on a rest day?

It was another brutal week of weather, once again. I took a few of my runs indoors to keep them easier and give myself a break from the heat and humidity. This stretch of humid days has just been going on for too long. I don't think we have had a morning under 70 with less than 90% humidity all month. But eventually summer will end and it will cool off. For now, I'm running outside when I can but also embracing the treadmill.

Over the past 18 months many people have turned to running as a way to exercise without having to go to a gym. Often times what starts as an innocent way to stay in shape can turn into an obsession with the sport. One day you're running for 10 minutes around the block, the next you're getting ready to run your first marathon. (Hopefully the progression doesn't actually happen that quickly!) So if you're running has progressed to the point where you have signed up for your first marathon, congrats! Here's what you need to know.

This was another rough week of weather. Not only was the humidity out of control, but we had rain just about every day. The forecast showed a chance of rain every morning, so there was no way to know when would be the best days for running. Since it wasn't actually raining most days, it was just ridiculously humid. We had some crazy thunderstorms at night too. But, I made it through week 10 of training, while trying to outrun the rain!

After you started running, you probably started learning more and more about running, right? You read articles and blogs, maybe even some books, and followed lots of fast runners on Instagram.

Don't be so quick to follow the running advice you find on the internet! Here are 6 running rules that may not actually be helpful and what to consider when deciding what to do instead.

You don’t know the life of a runnergirl, babe. J You don’t know the life of a runnergirl, babe. Just living that 3:30am alarm clock life and chugging gels like it’s my job. #longrun #marathontraining #lifeofashowgirl
Has to be a quick dance party because I’m alread Has to be a quick dance party because I’m already running late! Why does this album get stuck in my head during all of my runs? #running #marathontraining #lifeofashowgirl
19 miles! 7 on the treadmill, 12 outside, 1,272 to 19 miles! 7 on the treadmill, 12 outside, 1,272 total feet of elevation gain. Amazing weather. Listened to Life of a Showgirl on the treadmill and had some podcasts saved for my outside run but couldn’t get my headphones to connect. This was challenging by the end and I kept thinking how hard it would be if I needed to run another 7 miles today (and all miles at a faster pace) but this is why we train. Feeling like I’m in a good place with 6 weeks to go! How was your run today? #run #marathontraining #longrun
