    I've been bad at logging my daily miles (usually logging minutes) but I looked at my odometer that I reset to 0 on Aug 1 and I'm at 166 miles. I'm right about where I want to be for my 300 goal.

    Sucky month so far. Lost the last half of July and the first 10 days of August to travel and sickness, then another week trying to rebuild endurance after 3 weeks off the bike. Feeling like I'm back on track and back on my training plan now.

    Awesome thread! I wish I'd seen this sooner.

    August 16 - rode 4 miles for a duration of 00:20:00
    August 17 - rode 16.41 miles for a duration of 01:15:15 (XC Race**)
    **Goal reached in yesterday's race as I got 1st Place. And I set a new threshold heart rate value during the race which bumps up my training zones a bit.

    August Totals: 198.93 miles for a duration of 14:37:05

    ***August Goals = race well in mountain bike races on my calendar for the 3rd, 17th, 24th, and the big "50 miler" on the 31st. That's a lot of mountain bike racing for one month meaning I will have to taper and recover as best as possible this month to pull it off.
