    I feel guilty for not running this morning, but I do want to feel better. So I opted to rest. I have to figure out how to get my long run in tommorow since my wife has a 5K in the morning. I am thinking of doing some core and hip exercises today too.

    July 01 - 6.3 miles
    July 02 - 3.3 miles
    July 03 - REST
    July 04 - 6.4 miles (10K + 0.2 warmup)
    July 05 - 4.3 miles (3.0 + 1.3)
    July 06 - REST
    July 07 - 5.2 miles

    July 09 - Core work

    July Goal: 90 miles
    Miles so far: 30.4
    Miles left: 59.6

    I finally started to do some core exercises last night. My lower back had been hurting on longer runs so I took that as a sign I need to start doing some core work.

    I had intended on getting up this morning to run 7 miles, but I was up past midnight last night and just felt too tired when my alarm went off this morning. I guess I get to run after sundown tonight.

    Went to training last night and my trainer said no running until next week to allow my knee sufficient time to really heal. It doesn't hurt anymore but I am going to be cautious and do as advised. I am going to hit the gym today and tomorrow to get some cardio in on the bike. I can't just sit and do nothing, it is making me crazy!

    For anyone looking for new shoes or gear Active.come is having a semi-annual sale. Looks like most of the women's shoes were around $50 more or less but they are limited in sizes.

    7/1 - 1.75mi Today was going to be a rest day because my quads are tight and sore but I did it. It was slow and I went on a sandy path instead of pavement to see if it helped and I do feel a little better.
    7/3 - 3.1mi Did my usual hilly path thru the park. Waited until evening to go but it was nice. Completed the first of 2 virtual 5k's. Now I have the rest of the month to improve my time LOL.
    7/6. - 1.6mi Went for a birthday run with my son, which, While I love spending time with him I hate running with him because i am to much slower than him and he always wants to walk LOL.
    7/7. - 3.1 mi Got up at 4:30am to get a run in before work and make up for yesterday. Think I will skip yoga today, I am sure I will pay for it later this week.
    7/10 - 1.85mi Couldn't get my butt out of bed this morning and I paid for it. Very humid, slow run on a hilly trail. I knew I couldn't do the 3 miles I had planned so I worked on powering uphill and maintaining the faster pace after the downhills on the hilly trail I picked.

    11.4 done and 18.6 to go.

    Waited too late in the day so it was hot and difficult. A very slow 4.4.

    All walking so far. Had hernia surgery June 22, and the doc wants me to wait another week before I start back to running. BTW, 57 miles walking post surgery.

    8.2 miles for today. Some of the trail is flooded knee deep again, which I appreciate, and there are still some major obstacles to climb from all of the storms we've had recently. My longest run to date. Puts me at 34.3/80 for July.yp9m22znx31u.jpg

    Yet another trail run today. Next run is going to be flatter and softer, it's time for a bit of a break.

    @melaniefave41 So you get your strength training in lifting trees out of your way? Smart!

    I hadn't noticed the fallen trees. I was too busy marveling at all the clean board lines she laid down on the trail so far. Can't wait to see the completed work!

    7/1 = 5 miles
    7/2 = 6 miles @ 6 weeks postpartum!
    7/3 = weight training in the morning, 4 miles stroller walk
    7/4 = Rest day, holiday dinner with the family and a very cranky baby. Add a dog terrified by the fireworks, shaking, panting and salivating on my bed, and you get the whole picture of my 4th of July night. Breath in…Breath out…
    7/5 = 4 miles run, hot and humid, but I needed it for my sanity; 3 miles walk with the baby.
    7/6 = 3 miles. Super hot, humid, yucky but an outside run it was!
    7/7 = 2 miles around the block. Very tired today.
    7/8 = 6 miles
    7/9 = Rest day, very much needed!
    7/10 = 5 miles
