- Stay healthy
Bang! Aced it!
Hmm, I am conspicuously absent from this thread.
Could that be the reason I stunk shit up while racing this month? Or is it why I ran my highest miles, longest long run and most consecutive days in forever?
Now that's a conundrum for your ass.

So July was hell, in a lot of ways and it was tough (for me, and a lot of others). I managed 148.9 miles for July, 13.5 miles more than June with an average 9:59 min/mile pace. Getting the runs in was pretty difficult and crazy, and sporadic but I did it and I am baring my ass to that pissy month and praying August is better.... or at least I am finally acclimated to this crap and done bitching about it Anyways, so what are your goals for this new, promising month?? Mine: Stay healthy and injury free Stay awake when driving Listen to my body Get into the 50 mpw range More miles than July Don't die You?

Are we there, yet?
I'm posting so I guess I met my goal to survive. It wasn't the greatest month, but better than a lot of them have been this year.
2024 Races:
03/09 - Livingston Oval Ultra 6-Hour, 22.88 miles
05/11 - D3 50K 05/25 - What the Duck 12-Hour
06/17 - 6 Days in the Dome 12-Hour.
Super B****
I would like a 10K PR and sub-21:40 5K, but I think I need to wait for fall for those... so I'll settle for keeping ITBS at bay. (It hits every year without fail in late August or early September.)
Huh, what do you know -- I'm three for three!
chasing the impossible
because i never shut up ... i blog
Mmmmm...beer
Maybe if I list some goals, it will help me post here more. - 250+ miles - Lean out some more (my weight is being weird, I'm hovering in the high 180s, but still getting leaner, so I guess that's good) - Try to throw in a 5k, I have no idea what my speed looks like right now, but overall my running is strong, so I should probably test it out

- Not quite, 224, too many URDs, gonna try to focus on that for Sept
- No idea where my weight is right now, batteries died in the scale, haven't replaced them yet lol
- Ran two 5ks, 2sec off my PR in the first one, which is great considering my PR was in cool weather on a flat course. Placed 1st and 2nd AG.
