    Intervals today. 2mi warm up, then 16x 300m with alternating recovery times of 30sec and 90sec. 2mi cool down.

    I found out today it’s almost exactly 2 miles to the high school track. The school was built about 4 years ago and it’s beautiful. The track is amazing, so bouncy! I enjoyed myself even though I was soaking wet from sweating so much. 80 degrees and very humid, but thankfully overcast. I walked the last mile home because I was beat!

    Finished July at 150.93 miles. My goal was 147 so I just made it 🙂

    See you in the August thread!

    Also, this was my first run in my new Old Navy shorts! Generally speaking they worked out great: love the length, love the feel, and the pockets (two!) were actually big enough to hold a house key, spare buff, and plastic card-holder with my ID and $20, and I completely forgot they were there. One big downside: the plum color I got does NOT hide sweat at all. I noticed this about halfway through my run and shrugged it off, figuring we’re all girls here out on the trail (figuratively), but I was pretty self-conscious walking home through the fully-dressed, not-drenched-in-sweat Muggles on their way to work. I don’t think it’s enough of a downside to negate the upsides, but it’s a bit of a bummer.

    The last race I ran gave out blue cotton tanks - I have no shame in wearing the race shirt for the actual race so I wore it. It was hot that day and by the end, the tank was showing 2 dark boob sweat marks. I was mortified! I rubbed the shirt around to soak the rest of the tank in sweat, but it’s forever captured on camera 😬😳

    Oh no! That's pretty unfortunate, for sure, although at least you didn't look like you'd wet your pants. On the other hand, pictures. >.< My last long run I ended up with a really weird sweat pattern where a circle around my left boob was the only part of my front that wasn't drenched. I have no idea what that was about, but thankfully it wasn't all that visible!
