More weight training upstairs this morning.
Well, it’s the last day of the month, so let’s take a look at what I’ve been up to in July.
Mileage:
- Week 1 (July 1-4): 16 miles
- Week 2 (July 5-11): 22 miles
- Week 3 (July 12-18): 22 miles
- Week 4 (July 19-25): 23 miles
- Week 5 (July 26-31): 13 miles
Grand total: 96 miles
Notable this month was my progress in my tempo runs. Running them on a track, which let me measure the distance precisely instead of just guessing on the road, was a big help. I shaved off more than a minute from my time in the mile, going from a 7:53 mile my first time on the track (July 9) to a 6:50 mile my most recent time (July 30). That was also my first sub-7 mile.
In terms of distance, July 25 was my first double digit run, when I completed 10.5 miles.
And, most importantly, I did not miss a single scheduled workout. Which means I suffered no injuries at all. Eat that, Nike.
Tomorrow, I’ll start off August with another 10.5 miles first thing in the morning before my alcohol class. Then I’m heading to Ocean City for the rest of the weekend.
