Dear James, Daniel and Emily
Today was just one of those mornings. I slept restlessly. From the minute I got up the younger kids were demanding, along with the cat. And all I wanted was to get out on the road to escape, But I took the time to get them breakfasts, get the TV working, logged into the computer, replace my socks when one of them ripped.
But I got out on the road. And I was still able to get home on time to make myself breakfast, get cleaned up etc and get to work on time. And I got that time out, helping clear my mind. And taking a couple of pictures of the flood lines from last nights down pour. And contemplated where I will run if my favorite trail is fully covered in mud like the one underpass I ran through.
Anyway, a couple of things:
June Mileage check: 97 miles roughly. About the same as May, which I am comfortable with, running about 100 miles a month is not too shabby.
Definitely my best effort from a consistency perspective on this long run route. This is probably my second toughest route that I run regularly. And it is mostly uphill for the first 4 miles. Yet I did my best job of maintaining a regular pace (albeit not a fast one) for that entire time, which is a much better effort than I normally do.
I am really happy to have made this change to break the walking habit. And I am looking forward to seeing how much of a difference it makes in my next race.
