While it isn’t officially Summer here but it it feels like Summer. This week we will have temperature in the 90s. Thank goodness for AC! I really don’t want to be outside in this weather.
This is what I have planned for this Summer – running and non running.
• Run the Elmhurst 4 on the 4th. It is one of my favorite races and I cannot wait. This year the race will be on Thursday.
• Train for the Chicago Marathon. I signed up to train with a group. The training will start on June 24th. I am not a big fan of Summer running, but I know that it is the best time for me to train for a marathon. I am off during the Summer and it is easier for me to rest and nap after my runs. I do struggle when I go back to work because then I am tired from spending so much time setting up my room.
• Walking more. I haven’t been consistent with my walks. I want to do a short walk after each run; longer if it is a longer run. I still have that goal to run/walk 2,014 miles this year.
• Continue to relax. Everyone has a different way to relax. I like to read and watch TV. My goal this year is to read 24 books. I am reading my 10th book but need to read more to catch up.
• Work on some school projects. I know I shouldn’t be working on school stuff in the Summer, but I want to get a head start so that I am not doing this during the school year. There aren’t a lot of Spanish resources and many times I have to translate them. Now is the perfect time to do these things.
What I would love to do is create a few projects and sell them on Teachers Pay Teacher. It will be a great way to earn some additional money.
Next week is a FREE topic. Feel free to write about any running-related topic. We hope you’ll link up with us!
Yay for summer! Looks like you won’t have any opportunities to be bored 🙂 I hope your summer brings you lots of fun & relaxation, and a great start to your marathon training!
I am rarely bored even though I am an introvert. I can always read or watch TV and the day goes by quickly.
You are right… for teachers, summer is training time. Hope it’s not a hot one.
I love to race on July 4th too.
I’ve let my walks go… I want to get back to everyday that I don’t run.
I like the idea of walking on the days you don’t run. I can do that too.
I hope that your Chicago Marathon training is super fun, even though it’s in summer! And I hope that you have plenty of time to relax the way you like!
Thanks, Jenn!
