June Review

The marathon can humble you. ~ Bill Rogers

One month into training and I am feeling pretty damn good about where things are going! I am still trying to come to grips with the lower running mileage totals however, I am loving the fact that I am already noticing that I am running significantly faster. Add to that all the cross training that the plan has me doing, I feel that I am getting closer each day to the goal. For those of you who are in training or about to start training, sometimes the plan doesn't seem clear at the beginning but as you progress through, everything becomes clearer each day.

June Final numbers

Running - 117 miles (this is my lowest monthly total in 17 months however I have never finished out a month with a sub 8 minute per mile pace) in 15:25:08 (7:55 per mile overall pace)
Biking (Spinning) - 211 miles in 10:03:22
Push-ups - 1,314 total push-ups

July looks like another incredibly challenging month! I am looking forward to challenge!

Happy Running!
