                I did 7 miles today which was my longest run since I got pneumonia, which was about a month ago.
                  Just had a great month.  Had a super fun interval workout this week, and even though June has always been my lowest mileage month ever...it will end up being my second highest...ever.  My goal 5k is still over a month away, but even with the August heat and humidity I am hoping for - at worst - a course PR...and with a little luck a 5k PR.

                  My goal 5k was 80 degrees at the start and 80% humidity...did get a course PR...missed a 5k PR by several seconds, but at least got 2nd in AG award!  Despite the terrible conditions and the PR miss - I am happy with the results.

                            Ran 26 km (16,16 miles) this evening. My longest run ever and another step towards my first marathon in Berlin in september. Much have happened since I had a surgery to fix a torn cruciate ligament in may '09. Feels wonderful (though my legs are well tired now Big grin )
