OK, so I know August isn't quite over, but from my running perspective it is, and what a month it's been.

Earlier in the month, I shaved my 5k PB down to 32:26, and then, today, I took my monthly cumulative distance over 100k for the first time.

Congratulations to you on running 5/10Ks in the month of August, your training program is very good, training for a half marathon sometime in the future.

Tomorrow, Sunday September 1 is the start of the Autumn running 10k, half marathon and full marathon season, some if those events like the Great Scottish and North Run are broadcast on the television 📺.
