run log: July 2011

I can run.  I can run.  I can run!  I had the best run of 2011 yesterday ~ going 6.5 and loving every minute.  Nothing hurt, I could breathe, and I felt strong.  It's been a long time since my body could do what I wanted it to do.  Now to learn the lessons:  recovery days are good things and stretching is important.
This month I ran 42.5 miles for a 2011 total of 268
I biked 112 miles for a 2011 total of 327.
I met my goal of running over 6 miles by the end of the month and even better ~ I AM BETTER!
I will run the last leg of the Akron Marathon and it will be good. 
Goals: I would like to have over 50 miles for the month of August.  I would like to have 8 mile runs as my long run ~ and I'd like to run 4 days a week.  I've only been running 3 days a week because I've been afraid of re-injuring that stupid IT band.  But I think 4 days is really doable and it would be very good for me. 

I bought some new running tops at the Under Armor outlet in Frisco ~ because it's important to look cute when running.  If you look good, you feel good and you run well!  That's my motto :)
