The 7th Inning Stretch & An Alien Invasion

July.

Hot, humid, icky.

On this, Kiwi and I agree.

So for our "race" we ran the equivalent of 3 marathons over the course of the month. The Firecracker Virtual allowed for this in their rules, so we used it! In 15 hours and 36 minutes, we covered 78.6 miles. Some were organized events such as the Watermelon Crawl (8 miles), many were runs with clients, and a few were on the treadmill. (Last 8 were on the treadmill 'cause you procrastinated, Kasha.) 

Not the point. We got it done. Here are pictures from the Watermelon Crawl and one post-long run with our favorite recovery items- water and fish.

So then it was August. Kiwi and I've been looking forward to the Area 13.1 in Roswell (Georgia!) for a while now. The weather was great, the race was at night, and we ran a 2:18:35.

I enjoyed the glow-in-the-dark accessories worn by other runners while Kiwi was looking for his idol, Gir of Invader Zim. I was also able to catch up for a quick second with Nicole and Joe, who drove up from Florida to run this event. Next up is the Milestone Half put on by FCA here in Savannah. That's this weekend and it was the first race Kiwi and I discussed on the blog last year. From there, we have our Chase The Sun Ultra in September and that's it! That will be the end of The Year Of Marathons. Stay tuned though- we've already come up with our next scheme.
