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.

I'm aiming for 500 miles this month.

**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.
