    Hi everyone! July was a train wreck for me. Let myself boggled down with visiting relatives and health issues. Failed at hitting 50 km in running. :s Hope August sees me in better spirits! B)
    My target is same: 50 km in running.

    I felt really good this morning after that extra day of rest. So good I went ahead and geared up for 20 miles. My training plan did not have a 20 miler for another two weeks, so I deviated a little, but that same plan also had me running 16 miles yesterday instead of resting.:smile:

    I started noticing it was warmer than I expected on mile 2 so I checked and the Real Feel was 86 at 6am. So I made sure to keep my HR down to MAF level and kept hydrated. I made it feeling pretty dang good, but much slower than I wished, perhaps mostly due to heat (I hope).

    nicely done!!! that's excellent.

    @skippygirlsmom Nice Bling and Fleet Gift Cards- Now that's good marketing/motivation for skip to keep running.
    Nice job on the Run to the Rescue 5K. A local club has a Roots and Rocks Trail run-Honest Description as it is a Very rough trail - at least they are Honest in there description.
    @demoiselle2014 Hope the legs heal.
    @JoRocka Calf Cramps - I feel your pain. Some days you have to wonder what our pets are thinking - "Crazy Master - I need a belly rub "
    @5BeautifulDays Love your Trail Photo's.

    8/7 - 4.4 miles in the fog :tongue: 5K Run to the Rescue with Skip and some of her teammates tomorrow.
    8/8 - 3.1 Run to the Rescue 5K today. Skip and I ran, it was trail for almost 2 miles (I've never run off the road) then onto the road, then onto parking lot gravel (ugh) then back to and finish on grass. We don't have official times, I was I did a 9:43 pace just over 30 min so not near a PR, Skip said she was about 23:49 not near her PR either. I thought it was a tough course, a few hills. The trail was hard for me very rooty and uneven, but it was a lot of fun. I finished 3rd in my AG and she finished 1st in her AG.
    8/9 - 9.3 miles
    8/10 - 3.5 miles of recovery - it's my birthday it's my birthday!! :sunglasses:

    Yesterday marked 3 months since I've started running. In spite of my lack of sleep the night before, I went out anyway. Started sluggish but finished strong, so a good run. I work a new pair of ASICS Gel Cumulus 16 for the first time. They don't have the cushioning of my Gel Nimbus shoes, but I think they'll be ok, particularly since I found them for just $52. I now have two pair in rotation (Brooks Glycerin 12 & ASICS Gel Nimbus 17) and two pair on standby (Brooks Glycerin 12 & ASICS Gel Cumulus 16).

    4 miles around the local pond with my dog, which puts me at 27.3 miles for the month out of my 100 mile goal.

    @ohhim, great job on that triathlon!
    @kristinegift, @Nettiejb, and @WhatMeRunning, great job on those long run!
    @skippygirlsmom, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!... the reunion was a blast. We had 124 in our graduating class and I think over 60 showed up. I've been to my 10th, 20th, 25th, and 30th and will continue to try to make every one. We had a pretty close class, even across cliques. One of the highlights of this reunion was a video from one of the keggers my group of friend held in the woods at the edge of town. Someone had a Super8 camera they "borrowed" from their parents. No one remembers it being taped except the guy who taped it. Thank goodness we didn't have facebook back then! I'm getting a copy and will have to show this to my kids....when they're about 30! I did miss out on the breakfast Sunday morning because I had to drive back home early to make sure I was here before my daughter left for college.
