Three cool (for July) morning miles with my training partner! Such a welcome reprieve from the heat the last few weeks, it was actually worth the torrential downpours we had on and off yesterday.

Ran the MCRRC Midsummer Night Mile last night. All I can say is WOW the mile is a whole other type of suffering. 

6:41.0, 2nd in my age group, and 12th female finisher. Not as fast as I was hoping for, but I met my B goals of under 7:00 (I was in the 6:15-7:00 heat) and not being last!

I hit two miles! This is literally the longest run I’ve done in probably four months. Part of that feels a little crappy because of how much I *want* to be running, but it also feels good to be back and moving up!

Yesterday ended in a pretty terrible place but today started with 4 easy miles and some smiles. I could tell my legs were tired from yesterday's intervals, so I took this easy run extra easy. I've been slacking on stretching, rolling, and other prehab activities lately and I need to remedy that before it's too late. 52 days to go 🌻🌻🌻

Ran a humid 3.1 miles yesterday as the sun was setting. Wasn’t too bad. Happy I forced myself out there.

Went to the beach on July 4th spontaneously and it was a great time!

Five easy miles this morning to finish out July at 177.8 miles! So grateful to be healthy and strong at the end of my second highest mileage month ever. I can’t wait to see what new growth August brings!

Bright and early short run to blow off some steam and nervous energy before I go in to meet my new temporary principal for this school year.
