Run log~July {#littlelate}

Vacation Time with my Girls in Michigan prohibited me from posting at the end of July...So this is a little late.  However, I still ran on vacation & that was pretty cool to run along the shores of Lake Michigan instead of Lake Erie.

July was a good month of running.  I ran in three different states at many elevations :)  I only ran in one race {and I don't really want to record that one, but I will}  "That one" was the Lake Metroparks Lighthouse Triathlon.  Trisha swam and biked & I was her runner.  It was much fun...and we had the best team name ever, * Tri Like a Girl *  My watch said I ran the 3.26 5k in 25:52, not a record by far, but under a 8 minute mile. {It was hard to run full out as I was passing everyone because I was fresh & they had just swam & biked}  However the timer had my 3.1 miles at 27:something...over a 9 minute mile.  Not a true story & it really hurts me to have that time with my name.  I'm whining about something that doesn't really matter, I know...but still.

Loved running trails in Colorado.  Loved running the roads in Michigan.  Loved that my IT band has 'fixed' itself...good month.
