July

So long, June. I will miss you very much. July is already here and it seems like summer hasn't even started. This week was crazy. It was probably my lightest work week I have had thus far. I am stressed about the fact that I didn't make as many Benjamins as I could/should have, but I did use my extra time wisely. I dug out the window well to the basement because the dirt was too close to the base of the window and the board rotted out. Not good. It has been temporarily fixed for the moment.

On the training front this was a good week for me. I did some solid runs with a couple bike rides thrown in for good measure. I also did another track workout! This time the weather was very humid, but with less wind. I was sweating buckets by the time I finished. One thing I am attempting to do is learn to push myself more. This workout was good for me mentally as I battled the head and stuck to my plan. 3:27, 3:30, 3:24, 3:27, 3:23 were my times for the 5x1000m that I did. I started out slower than I had wanted, but I was happiest with the last couple. The humidity was really getting to me and I had no cool water to drink. These were faster than a couple weeks ago! #progress

I am now registered for The Urban Wildland Half Marathon, City of Lakes 25k, Lifetime Torchlight 5k, and The Heck of the North (pretty sure). Should be a good few months!

I leave for CO in 3 days!
