July Recap

I haven't posted a recap of anything lately, with the exception of a few races. I thought that now would be a good time to start a new post tradition on this here blog, and do a workout recap for July.

July was definitely a busy month for me. I really got into my riding back and forth to work, I pulled the trigger on the 50K in December, and got serious about finding a triathlon for next year.  I also ran my longest run to date as I continue to train for my first marathon which is just 52 short days away. All I can say about my training this month is that it has been hot, hard, and plentiful. I broke a bunch of training PR's like longest run duration, furthest distance, longest total duration, most calories burned, highest elevation, and that goes for both my running and cycling this month. It has been totally crazy, and not just because of the time put in but it never ceases to amaze me that I can fit it all in. What a great feeling knowing that no matter what it is that you want you can always find a way to get it done.  That last statement pretty much sums up July for me.
