This was the third most miles run in a month for me, trailing only January and last August.
This was also the third straight month that I have increased my miles run.
This was however my slowest average pace for a month since last October. I attribute that to the drastic increase in heat and humidity this month combined with the added miles, I ended up having to notch down plenty of runs and work on building my base up.
On the positive however, this was still 55 seconds a mile faster than this time last year!

For July, my training plan has me looking at 185 miles, which will be my most ever in a month. It will be quite challenging as I have multiple trips out of town plus the summer is just starting to get warmed up. Hopefully I will be up to the task.


Edit: Running the Peachtree Road Race (10k) on July 4th in Atlanta. My start time is 9:05am, and it is going to be roughly 80F with 80% humidity at that time. Pretty similar to what I've been running in here the past few weeks, but definitely not something for me to run a PR in. My main interest likely will be to see at what point in the race Meb passes me. Maybe I should try to see how long I can keep up with him until I pass out and have to be carted off in an ambulance?

Wow, that's 3.3% of the month running not sure whether that's impressive or crazy! We'll go with impressive
