Thomas Gouard
I chose to get the workout in very early versus going to the grocery store as it opened because our temperature in Chicago was noted to skyrocket near noon. I also had a covid-19 test, so I didn’t want that to interfere with getting the workout in. 
With 3 more days left in the August Running Challenge, the bare minimum I chose to run was at least 2.99 miles. Even though it is 3 more days, technically it is 4 days because August 31st is not counted, but as long as the challenge is completed by September 1st, the challenge has been completed. Running 3 miles a day on each day is doable, but I imagine that I will take on more miles depending on the location I run at. I do have routes that are just fit for my longer runs, so I will leave the possibility of tackling more going into the weekend.
Rarely do I run at the 606 Bloomingdale trail because there is not much to it other than its fancy looking appearance. I chose it solely because I can easily run 1.50 miles out-and-back without all of the loops and craziness I would have had to do at Humboldt Park.
I love putting together a plan before my runs as far as dividing the days left with how much mileage is needed in the challenge. Doing so was one of the key things that gave me some assurance that the challenges I went for could be completed this month.
After today’s run at the 606 Bloomingdale trail I am sitting at 53.18 miles out of 62.13 for the August Running Challenge. From here it is either coasting into Monday just running 3 miles each day, or doing a 4.47 mile run on both Saturday and Sunday which will finish this challenge off.

Do you go harder on the weekends than during the week or the opposite?
It depends if I have to work or not, but typically I go for longer runs. I could easily finish the milage off, but I want walk miles, too.
i always do the most during the week on Saturdays. Sundays I do mone than Monday- Friday but not as much as Saturdays.
I design my schedule to do more on Saturdays. I let my mood determine Sundays which most of the time has me in a mellow mood.
so do I – yesterday 32,000 steps.
i love taking most of a Saturday and just walking. although it was freaking muggy yesterday.
I have got used to walking on Sundays, so I’ll probably stick with it. This month was crazy because I was everywhere. I think I annoyed Yelpers because most of my pictures were my workouts, lol.
i have two reviews i have to write, just waiting for some information.
i ended up walking on Sunday, i didn’t push myself and enjoyed the walk!
I will probably get out either today or tomorrow for a walk. This month shouldn’t be as hectic as last month, as far as working. Thank goodness.
i stayed out of anything starting in September I have 2 rfps
Glad you got your test done. Have a good weekend.
