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!

Last week I was off from work, which meant I had more time for running. It was also a big week for track and field in the Olympics. Talk about inspiring! But all of that had me thinking about what it takes to get to that kind of level of running, and what holds back everyday runners like you and I. What would running be like if we had all the running resources?

This week I was off from work, with no vacation plans. So it was staycation 2021! Rob was off as well, and we had considered keeping Grayson home a few of the days but since he had missed so much time from being sick we sent him on his usual days. This allowed us to get a lot done around the house and do some relaxing as well!
