Saturday 073110 July wrap up

AM – 20 miles.  Up early and out at it, hoping to beat the heat (fairly successful).  Approached this as a “take it as it comes” run – meaning, I’d see how it was going throughout rather be prescriptive about it.  I was not sure if I felt great, or horrible … so it was a fair approach.  After a “wake up” mile, I settled into sub 8s, high 130s and just rode this for the rest of the run.  Caught a part of a bike race up in Anthem around Sheriden, Lowell and so that broke things up nicely.

July – good month.  Week so far is 92 miles, with 121 over the last seven days (pretty sure that is an all time high for seven days), 12.5 hours thus far on week.  347 miles on over 53.25 hours in July. 2471 miles over 389.5 hours on the year.  July also had three races (BTMR, Burro Run, and the FMCC 5k), and 5 days off because of the river trip.  Actually – this was a GREAT month.  With 392 in June, and 347 in July, I am at 739 miles – which puts me eleven miles shy of the 750 club for HS summer running (through Sept). Last July was 407 miles – but no vacation!
