Read 12 books with a variety of topics, genres, and styles<\/strong>. I received The Broker by John Grisham<\/a> for my birthday and finished it this month. \u00a0I also read Gods and Kings: Chronicles of the Kings #1 by Lynn Austin<\/a>. \u00a0Gods and Kings is a dramatized account of the story from 1 Chronicles in the Old Testament of how King Hezekiah comes to power.<\/p>\n

Complete a Triathlon\u00a0Square Lake<\/a>\u00a0Short Course, September 10. 0.5 Mile Swim 16.5 Mile Bike 5 Mile Run.\u00a0<\/strong>It is hard to believe that it less than 2 weeks away. \u00a0I feel pretty ready for it. \u00a0I’ve missed some swims lately which is frustrating, but I think overall my endurance is there and I will do just fine. \u00a0I’ve started thinking about time goals, but I’m not sure if I’m ready to commit to a specific time goal or not.<\/p>\n

August’s training looks like this:<\/p>\n

Running: 78.6 miles<\/p>\n

Biking: 158.5 miles<\/p>\n

Swimming: 1.8 miles<\/p>\n

Finish this\u00a0YouVersion<\/a>\u00a0devotional plan<\/strong>\u00a0(Bible Study). \u00a0This has been pretty easy to manage, I\u00a0occasionally\u00a0miss a day here and there, but catch up on the next day.<\/p>\n

Make a substantial change to one of my programs at work.<\/strong>\u00a0Completed. And on the road to another major change now that school has started back up.<\/p>\n

Blog Regularly<\/strong>\u00a0This month has gotten better. \u00a0It helped that I was home and had more time during the day. \u00a0I’ve also started doing the Daily Mile Daily Mission and that at least gives me a daily prompt to think about for future posts!<\/p>\n

Learn how to use my digital camera and experiment with its features.\u00a0<\/strong>I’ve abandoned this goal. \u00a0There is still time, so we’ll see. \u00a0I’ve been using my phone a lot since it has an 8mp camera and my camera is 10mp.<\/p>\n

Curing Plantar Fasciitis<\/a>, was the\u00a0most viewed post<\/strong>\u00a0again. The order didn\u2019t change: number two was\u00a0Treating Plantar Fasciitis<\/a>, and a close third was\u00a0Twin Cities Running Stores<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
