    Wish I would have seen this at the beginning of August....maybe next year? Not sure if I'll be able to do next month...can try all depends on the weather (and my neighbor's schedule since I swim in her pool) :D Also I am a new swimmer (just learning).

    Run/Walk = 94.25 miles
    Bike = 224.1 miles

    30 miles of this week's Run/Walk have been of the Run variety which I am very proud of since I couldn't run 100 yards 4 months ago. Each day this week I have done a .4 mile warm up walk followed by 5 miles of "running" (12 min. miles).

    No swimming this month, but I do have swim training scheduled to start Sep 5th.
