July 2013

Running

Big month. Lots of running. This was by far the most miles I’ve run in a single month as far back as my records go. I know for a fact I ran farther in October 1996, but probably not any other month. My average run distance was about the same as usual (just under 10 miles), but I ran more frequently than usual. From my longstanding three days per week schedule I went up to four days per week in the spring. In July I upped that again to five days per week, with one week at six days. That week I ran 72 miles, which was also my highest weekly mileage since October 1996.

There’s now 10 days left until Howl at the Moon and I’m going to be taking it pretty easy until then.

Cycling

I actually had a hard time keeping my cycling mileage ahead of my running mileage this month. But the one race I did, New Town Triathlon, I did much better on the bike than I expected, even going (slightly) faster than last year.

Swimming

An expired pool membership, a pool closed for renovations, and a lot of running conspired against me to prevent me from doing much at all in the way of swimming.
