July's recap

4 miles on the schedule today.....done!  It was really nice temps out so made for a nice run this morning.

-----------------

I have not been too consistent on recapping each month but here's what happened:

Swim - 0 yards - of course, I have no access to a pool except up north.  I guess I could swim in the lake?

Bike - 40 miles - 4 workouts; 10 miles each

Run - 143 miles - running consistently 5 days per week.

Weights - did 4 workouts this month - I'm trying to be at one per week.

Races - NONE!  First month since February that I have not had a race but I have raced 7 races this year already.  Next up - North Country Trail Half


As you know, I've been struggling mostly on running even though my miles look decent.  Next month will probably show more running and less biking/weights since I tend to slack off on these as I run more.  Is the marathon here yet?  Less than 11 weeks left.

Have a great day and....Keep Running!!!!

  3. Better get the big runs in before Winter comes back. I normally only run on a Friday morning (other afternoons) but since it's winter here and I think it's rained every Friday for I don't know how long, those morning runs have been done in the afternoon. But like you I have a marathon in October and I might need to get fit, so I might try and put in a couple of extra morning runs...

    Good luck as the Marathon training picks up.

  4. I have been getting killed on my morning runs. My body really isn't used to it, unless I am racing.

    I bet it was nice taking a month from racing off. I have found that my training really slacks if I want to put 100% into a race. Sometimes I realize it is much better to be training for a target race, rather than sign up for a bunch of races just to run them.

  5. I want one of the huge North Country Run medals. Hopefully it's not the same weekend as the Crim every year. I wouldn't mind a day trip up to Manistee.

  6. I hope to make it up to North Country one day for the half when I can train/run again. Have fun and good luck! I will look forward to your recap too. :)
