I fly.
My legs are super sore right now, so I don't know what I'm thinking, BUT I'd like August to be even more hardcore...
Bring it on.
I'm actually cutting my mileage a bit, while adding doubles; it may seem counter intuitive...but I'm working on more quality work this month than quantity, and the double days are actually just a short, easy recovery run to support the workouts
MTA: Also, if I cut August a bit...I'll turn over 1500 during a half marathon on the 3rd of Sept...I like pulling stunts like that.

Okay, I'm going ambitious here this month.
Okay, thats what I got this month, now let's get to it.
276 Hill repeats - borrowing idea from Knifey Improve nutrition - Trying again from July fail
I'm doing it like they do in the video on the Lydiard Foundation site...hill bounding...I think they call it. They are hard!
200 or more miles.
Fun a 30 mile FA in Michigan.
Train for my September 50 mile.
Throw in a little speed work on shorter days to keep things interesting.
Run a 5K that a friend's son's football team is sponsoring.
I'm still waiting to feel whether my stupid sciatic nerve is settling (possibly not helped by killer heels last night and a hilly run today, the day after a longer run with a still sore leg), so goals are a bit dependent on that. Goals are something like
>170 miles, ideally 200, but I'm concerned by my leg being ready for higher miles this week.
2 tempo sessions or at least faster runs, again very much leg dependent
1 long run of 16 miles or more, once again not if the leg is playing up...or possibly if it is, but at a slower pace than I usually do my longs at (which I know is too fast before I get told off again).
September will be a low mileage month for me as I'm in California from the 13th for work, and then on holiday there from the 18th, so I'd like to bank some miles now so that I'm not too sulky and might actually want a change from running (although I actually think that running more just makes me want to run even more). I can't see much running happening while away though, especially when on holiday as a lot of our plans are mountain/rock-climbing based. Hopefully some runs when in cities, on rest days and when not on long mountain days, but I've promised not to prioritise running over the rest of the things we could do when away.
Good luck with goals everyone else.

240 miles
200 miles, a non-ridiculous graph
Speed my steps along your path, according to your will.

heal from this PF
heal this swollen knee
heal this blister on my foot
lose weight
survive Bulldog race
Runners run
180+ miles
Continue to be consistent
--possibly get back to losing the last 10 lbs, I keep wavering on this one...
an amazing likeness
1. 200 miles
2. Fridays off
3. Two quality runs per week
4. Find what it takes to have a few pain free runs
5. Run a race just for the fun of the event
Acceptable at a dance, invaluable in a shipwreck.
Okay, I'm going ambitious here this month. 218.2 Miles - This is what I need to hit the 1500 miles for the year - gonna try to finish this goal off in August At least one swim workout each week - maybe not long ones, but at least something At least one hill or speed workout per week At least two 13+ mile runs each week, one long on weekend and one mid-week Eat better - been doing fine at work, but completely chowing down at night when I get home Per the last goal, I'd like to drop a few pounds - I hit my heaviest weight ever last month and I didnt like it Okay, thats what I got this month, now let's get to it.
Okay pulled a calf muscle (pretty badly) on Sunday night - nope, not running - playing kickball at my nephews 6th B-day party.
So new goal - get in what I can after it heals up, though i dont really see 218 being on the horizon.
