All treadmill runs
I wasn't feeling it at all but managed to drag myself to the gym. I did a slow 4 miles. That gym is always busy, but seems to have picked up a bit recently, which makes it harder to convince myself to go sometimes.
I'm planning to get in one more run for the month tonight.

I am here, but not. I have not been online as much. I am trying to engage and not feel disconnected, but it's really hard. I was so disconnected that my MFP anniversary came and went. 7/9/2025 was my ten years on MFP. I am using MFP and running to stay grounded and not lose all I worked for.

Did a short threshold run yesterday. Had to run some errands after plus it was warm so the hr was rising like crazy. Not used to the heat after all that rain and cool! It's funny how we get messages from the universe. Thanks to several earlier major speed bump mountains, was feeling a bit draggy about some planned race goals and yesterday, magically, bits about Run Forrest Run showed up on my video feed…😍

Thanks for setting up August thread @AlphaHowls . I'm not sure how it got here this fast though.
@WarmJellyfish I need to do better with the snooze, but sometimes I think I get my best sleep during that time. LOL You are doing great with your running.
You're doing great @CMorning99 !
I love that your husband encouraged you to run more @Mari33a .
Great running @angf0679 . I always feel like I am running into the wind both directions. LOL
@kgirlhart I hope someone checked on the lady. Sounds like she needed it, but good to be cautious. Maybe you didn't recognize the other lady because she normally wears a wig and decided not to while out running? Just a thought. You are doing great with your running this month.
Sounds like a nice run @yirara .
You had a great month @ContraryMaryMary .
You're doing great @chris_in_cal .
Great running @tarun_yadavA .
I don't like crowded gyms either @Zaxa2021 . You're doing great.
Hang in there @AlphaHowls . Hugs. That is a beautiful picture.

Good finish of the month. Really benefitted from the overall cold and rainy summer. Missed 2-3 runs due to being sick. Today wasn't as good as yesterday, but not surprising as I was still tired from yesterday's run. On to a new month.

Posting three days.
Tuesday I worked all day and ran some errands afterwards, so got home late. I did a hot driveway wun when I got home. (I actually accidently worked an extra 30 minutes. My brain was thinking 8 - 5 even though I started at 7:30. Fortunately, the powers that be didn't mind that I did, esp since I don't get overtime as a sub.)
Yesterday, I worked 4 hours and did a treadmill walk when I got home. I didn't have time for much and didn't want to sweat and have to take a shower. I was able to grab a quick bite to eat and then mom and I headed back to town for the funeral of a 95 year old friend. Then, we had church later.
I didn't have to work today, so slept in a little and went out for a driveway wun about 11 am. It was only 79F (26C), but the humidity was 84% (felt like 100%). I was a sweaty mess from the get go, so went really slow. The running portion was 2/1 min of walk/run. Avg pace was 14:17 min/mile. Avg HR was 128 with a max of 151 bpm. I did a total of 3 miles then. I cooled a little and then walked to get the mail and on down to mom's…decided to do 2 more miles of walking to get a total of 60 miles for the month.
I also did a total of 3h54m2s of other exercise - tennis and mowing.
I didn't make my goal, but am still happy with my total, considering the trip to FL and not feeling well for a week.
See ya in the Aug thread.

175.92/160 miles completed for July
I finished July with a 6.25 mile interval run. That brings me to 175 miles for the month. It was not as hot this morning. The dew point was 58°. It was a pretty good day to do speedwork. I thought the run went well. Hal scolded me for doing more than planned. I thought I did a good job on the workout. I hit the paces for the intervals, but I didn't slow down enough on the recovery segments. But I felt good about it.
@quilteryoyo I hope someone checked on her too. And I never thought about the other lady wearing a wig.
Great job on getting the miles in everybody! I hope to see you all over in the August thread!

Hi Everyone!
The humidity here in NY really got to me these past days. I am so not used to this level of having to fight every km just to keep running and being soaked with sweat and out if breath when I finish, so all my final kms in July were very hard earned. I really should have been waking up and getting out of the house earlier…
In the end I didn’t nearly reach my goal, but I still managed 221.7/270km.
@AlphaHowls Hugs!!!!
