Your guide to everything under the moon, the Amber Moon, 8/12/24
August. Middle school cross country has started! My schedule shifted, and then because it’s supposed to be over 100 this week, we’ve switched to an early morning practice. I prefer 4p. It just fits better. I certainly don’t mind a 630a practice, but when I have to drive in 35 min to get there…
Masters swim has been extended on Sundays. Yes, I’m working on a weekend. It’s just thru 9/2. And it’s small enough I get to swim a little too.
Couch to 5k is in its 3rd week.
Much like June, lots of what feels like new programming, and that schedule shift. I did figure out from my Summer schedule that I really do miss my early morning runs/coaching from pre-COVID days. Life is gonna shift again in September as programs restart (Taylor Track time) and masters swim ends for real until next year.
Which brings us to today. A Monday. And I’m just now getting this out. Yeah, it’s been crazy busy.
I’ve got a few fun things planned
Monday, 9/2 – Labor Day – Decker Hills. For my runners out there, I’m inviting you to join in on an 8.5ish mile run around Decker Lake. We gonna eat some #hillsforbreakfast. I’ve got an athlete in training that needs to do them, so I thought I’d give her some company. Your company. I’ll be driving support, so you can cut short if you need. Sign up here.
Fall running virtual group coaching. Starts Labor Day weekend.
- Nov 2 – Veteran’s 5k Beer Run (Taylor), or Run For the Water (5k, 10 mi; downtown Austin).
- Dec 14 – Spicewood Vineyards 5k, 10k, HM. (Decker is the following weekend)
- Jan 18 – Run for the Roses 5k/10k, Taylor (this is definitely on the list!)
- Feb 22 – Heart of TX 5k, 10k, HM, Temple
- Mar 29 – Wanderlust 5k, 10k, HM, Fredericksburg (totally fun)
Spicewood was one of my favorite 10ks. And I intend to be run/walking it this year. Come join me!
You can also choose the Decker HM, since it’s a just week later. If the Labor Day Decker Run goes well, we may have another group training run along the way.
These events are tentatively on The Quack Pack‘s calendar. Some past favs, some new favs. We won’t do all, but this is what we are looking at. Who’s ready to come play? Please contact me for more info.
