Easy week, recover week, hard week, hard week. I had a bit lower mileage as I teedered on the brink of injury after the Black Squirrel Half Marathon. But I backed off and kept things under control long enough to get a few good weeks of training in before October’s Blue Sky Marathon.

Somehow this managed to be my highest mileage month all year, and the vast majority of those miles came on my cyclocross bike. I guess I added more bike rides as I eased up a bit on the running. Then there was my second race of the year.
