September was a nice, solid month of training – mostly road running (I didn’t hit the trails this month) and bit of cycling [a spread of 73% road, 0% trail, and 27% bike.] Bike percentage was down this month as I opted to rest after the NorCal Half Marathon (probably a wise decision in the long run.)
September also continued my training program for the Honolulu Marathon in December – taking me through week 8 of the 18-week plan.
As far as new equipment, I bought a bike mount for my iPhone. It works pretty good, though I did opt for the heavy duty bracket based on reviews I read. I still wear my Garmin 210 when riding, but also downloaded and have used an app called BikeBrain, which is a product from the company that makes the bike mount and is actually pretty good.
I did have to travel to Bloomington, MN; but kept on schedule, doing my Sunday long run and a 7 miler as well.
Anyway, here are the stats for the month that was September 2012:

August was another solid month of training – mixing road and trail running and cycling on Mondays [a spread of 44% road, 14% trail, and 42% bike.] ; Bike percentage was up this month as I took a few extra days off from running after July’s San Francisco Marathon – First Half.
August was also the start of my training program for the Honolulu Marathon in December (info below) and my first trail run (info below.)
As far as new equipment, the big one was buying a road bike – even though I technically only got in one ride it in August. ; I’m loving it, but am still a committed runner first…though cycling is a nice break. ; I can eventually see myself increasing the cycling miles and maybe adding swimming to the mix – though I won’t say when yet, too many other goals on the horizon! ; I did pick up a North Face Better Than Naked tech shirt that was on sale at the Boulder Running Company when I was in Boulder. ; I wore it on the Crystal Springs Trail Run and really liked it. ; I have so many tech shirts though, not sure I’ll pick up any others…
I did have to travel to Boulder, CO; but kept on schedule, doing a group of three, early morning runs along the Boulder Creek Path. ; It was really nice and I was determined to NOT get off my Marathon Training plan on the first week!
Anyway, here are the stats for the month that was August 2012:
