SEPTEMBER?!?

Welcome to September!! My favorite month of the year because it means fall, changing leaves, apple picking, warm cider donuts, hayrides and Oktoberfests start hitting the taps. September is also my birth month - so I basically celebrate starting now.
Brian and I are in Stowe for the weekend for a wedding and started our day off with a challenging yet rewarding 5 miles. The views in every direction were Aaaamazing, but with mountain runs come steep climbs and rolling hills. The 5 or 6 long trails I drank last night at the rehearsal dinner probably didn't help either :)
With only 7 weeks to go until the big race, I've really been cracking the whip (on myself) at the gym. This was week 2 of my 8 week plan - so that means 3 nights/week at the gym after work and dinners at 9PM. This week I stuck to my schedule pretty well, although I traded a workout this AM for my swim/bike yesterday (we were traveling).
I found this awesome new website called www.dailymile.com. On it, you can log your daily workouts, and it will tell you how many calories you burned, how much electricity you produced, pounds lost, total miles etc. It's a really fun tool, and you can post your daily workouts to facebook - which I've been doing in an effort to encourage people to follow my training.

Summary of Workouts:
Monday: Ran 4.3 miles to the gym; lifted arms and abs; ran/walked 1.5 miles home
Tuesday: Swam 600 yards (100 warm up, 8X50s, 100 cool down); abs class
Wednesday: Ran 3 miles, 90 minutes yoga
Saturday: Ran 5 miles

I need to start working in the bike/spin classes. I normally spin on Sunday AM, but last week Irene made that impossible, and this week I'll be in VT. Ideally, I need to start riding my bike to places, instead of walking/taking the T. I just got my bike tuned up last week, so I basically have no excuse.
