This month's challenge to myself: I have set up a run schedule for myself. 4 days/week until the last week of the month, which will be my down week (ie, I'll return to my mileage before these up weeks, which will be 0 miles. After that I'm going to increase my regular run distance to my last long run distance, which is 4.5 miles, and increase my long run distance to be 50% longer than my regular run distance, which will bump up to 6 miles).

For strength training I am going to split my workouts more so I can fit in more strength days. I was doing individual muscle groups most of last month, then shifted to a full body schedule on the 31st, so now I need to run days. So I'm going to challenge myself to fit in at least 2 strength workouts per week.

So in total, the challenge is 4 running days / week + 2 strength days / week.

I don't have any clever tie in to prior labor movements. I'm too frazzled with all the new responsibility I've got so if someone else wants to make this cute, be my guest :)
