This week didn't go as planned.
After a few good weeks I was hoping to get my first 160 mile month in July. All I needed was 5 runs of 5 miles a day with 6 days left in the month. That should have been easy enough but we had a family beach trip in Port Aransas, TX. The humidity there just beat me down. I got 5 runs in but went on Friday and not Thursday. I also didn't reach 5 miles for any of my runs and ended up with around 150 miles for the month and then an extra 4 on Friday. The goal was not reached but I did have some runs with great scenery and produced massive amounts of sweat.
I also forgot to pack my Garmin charger cable with me. My old Nike watch wouldn't make it 3 runs without draining completely. My Garmin still had around 50% battery left over. I thought that was very impressive.
My plan for August is to cut back a bit. I'm thinking about training for the Dallas Marathon in December and training would start near the beginning of September. I'm thinking about cutting back on the number of runs per week from 6/7 to 4/5 per week and maybe concentrating more on the long runs a little more. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I've tried Google'ing what to do the month before training begins but I haven't found anything.
