The Sub 2 project has hit a snag. It is HOT. Right now, as I type, it is 89 degrees at 8 pm. I have been trying to take advantage of running in the mornings to get in quality runs. This fall, I have two opportunities to achieve my sub 2 goal.

I am also training with Gatorade Endurance gels and hydrations to power through one of the hottest summers ATL has experienced. Despite the heat the Gatorade Endurance products have been great for maintaining my energy throughout training.

Opportunity 1: Rock 'n' Roll Savannah half (Nov 2)

I love running in Savannah! It's nice and flat and there is tons to see. I am going to put my best foot forward race to the sub 2 goal. Last year I PRed, but this year I am going for the goal!

Opportunity 2: Mount Dora haf (Dec 22)

I am ending my 2019 racing season at the Mount Dora half marathon in Mount Dora, FL. I have never run this race and am excited about a new adventure. I am not sure how the terrain will be, but I will survive.

I would love to hit my goal at one of the opportunities. Hopefully the sun will take a break so I can get more quality runs in weekly.
