Last Monday of August and I’m updating my mileage for the past two weeks, because last Monday I was busy flying toward Orlando most of the day (alone with three kids – yikes!) and pretty much ignored my computer for not only Monday, but the whole week Week of August 15 In prepping for vacation work got really crazy – I skipped a run  this week.
