Run Log: June 2013

Running in June has been getting back into the swing of training.  The difference is I'm not dieting as well (as my weight shows)  My IT bands are not fully recovered and my stupid right foot has been a little tweeky.  I need to STRETCH and do some yoga.  But I've gotten up into the double digits for my long runs and I decided I needed to run 5 days a week.  I'll never be able to run over 30 miles a week in four days.  This was the first week for that...so we'll see how that goes.  I'd like to get to Camp Stig and start to run there.  And then there's my shoe drama.  My feet feel like I need new shoes...but I don't want to get new ones this far from the marathon, because I don't want to run in old shoes for the race.  So I think I'm going to alternate between my Asics and see if that doesn't help.  If nothing else, it'll buy me a month & then I'll be ready for that new pair anyway.

June's totals:
106.32 miles for the month 
537.35 miles for the year
0 biking miles for the month
118 biking miles for the year
311.99 miles in my black, pink & blue Asics ~  They are serving me well...
371.36 miles in my now retired white & blue Asics ~ wore them for two runs with the possibility of rain ~ but not the actual run in the rain {go figure}


My WEIGHT:  This morning, after my run the scale said 135.  I'm not really happy about that...as I know my eating habits have sucked.  Cookies & cheese & ice cream & Hershey Kisses...  Time to be a little more healthy about what I put in my face.

Some interesting facts:
Longest run this month: 10 (two times)
Favorite place to run this month: My 10 mile run from Ag's house to Edgewater Park and back.  It was fun to do a training run in a place I've done a few races.  Such pretty houses around there!
# of bags of Candy Cane Kisses left in my cabinet: 1 ~ I've opened two this month.
# of books I read this month: Four...I love summer
