159.2 vs 160 (wait there's still time)
I gained 1 pound so not bad
However I bonked on my long runs over 17 in the heat, and changed my full to a half, but signed up for a fall one right after.

1. First 200 mile month ever- got 201
2. Run my 4th of July 5k in a manner that doesn't involve stomach cramps - failed, though I PR'd I still had stomach cramps.
3. Continue building mileage on my MP runs - check
4. Eat at least one piece of fruit every day. I know that sounds ridiculous, but fruits are not my go to sweet. I'd like to change that - check
1. 180 miles 2. Do 90% of scheduled workouts 3. Stay injury-free, go into August feeling strong
2. Do 90% of scheduled workouts
3. Stay injury-free, go into August feeling strong
1- Yes, 194.9 -- Would have gotten to 195 if I'd realized I was that close!
2- Yes-- I missed 2 workouts on my schedule-- one long run when I went on vacation and one interval workout I got halfway through and called it quits because I just wasn't feeling it
3- Yes-- Feeling strong and confident about my training. Very happy with my progress!
Stay healthy Get back on training, took June off from my training cycle and dabbled in a ruckus run and a sprint triathlon Survive summer running, have I mentioned today that I hate summer running get some serious bike miles in also

Wickedly Average
I don't think I actually set any specific goals for July, at least not related to running.
I did manage to push out 87 miles in July, not my highest month, but a pretty good one none-the-less. My first week was low-mileage so the trend is upward a bit.
Injury-wise, some minor pains in the right knee when descending hills a couple of weeks ago. We'll see how that pans out next weekend when I run on Missionary Ridge. Nothing steep, but it's a constant up/down incline so I should give the legs a good workout. Downside of the pain is that I'm a little reluctant to train on hills right now.

Mmmmm...beer
1. Stay healthy! 2. 200+ miles again 3. To go with #2, at least 50mpw, I hit 200+ last month, but my weekly mileage was all over the place, gonna try to be more consistent 4. Get below 185 5. Have a blast at the Summer series. My local club puts on a 3 race series on Tuesday nights, finishing with a fourth race that's their Memorial Scholarship 5k. The 3 fun races are 4 miles each and they're things like a guess your time (no gps/watches/phones allowed), a relay, etc. Just fun stuff with a party afterwards. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to make the 5k due to work, but if I do, it's probably going to be too hot for a PR, so I'll just run it hard and see what happens.

1. Done!
2. Done, and a new monthly PR, 227.5 miles!
3. Close enough, had one 49 mile week, the rest were 50+ with one 62 mile week.
4. I'll have to check in the morning, but there's a good chance I made this one (didn't weigh for the last week when I was gone)
5. Didn't make this one, missed all 3 fun runs and the 5k, oh well, that's how life goes sometimes.
