46.9
That's how many miles I have run during the month of July. I'm gonna have to say that's pretty good and is probably a personal best, although I just started consistently tracking. I feel like I should go put another 3.1 miles in this afternoon to make it an even 50!
This morning I was up at 4:30 and out the door at 5:40 to meet Julie for our run. She was right on time and we ran for about an hour & 15 mins - we ran around the Common and the Public Garden a few times, making sure we went up Beacon Hill twice. I felt great and was moving pretty quickly (for me). I ended up running 5.5 miles by the time I got home. I even walked to work after I got ready, which is almost 2 miles.
On Saturday we are meeting at 6:00 am to do the first loop of our long run. Hopefully this will work out okay. We are scheduled to do 13 miles, which is almost the longest that I've ever run at one time - 13.5 being my highest total at the Boston Run to Remember.
Yesterday I turned in my Team in Training Recommittment paperwork and Nike Marathon application. I had been wavering about doing the full marathon vs. the half, but decided that I needed to stick to what I had said I was going to do, and that if I don't finish in the 6.5 hours allotted, and don't get the necklace and the finisher's t-shirt, well, it is what it is. I'm not doing it for the swag - I'm doing it to raise $$ for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and I'm doing it for my honored heroes. I'm doing it because I can. I may be damn slow, but as the sticker I received from Tatum's Mom states: Death Before DNF!!!
