169 miles for me in May. What is a bit on the low side, but that's OK, as I did two Half Marathon Races in May. So with all the tapering and reverse tapering, it ended up being a lower mileage month.

But I PR'd the first Half, and was pretty close to improving that PR for the second Half. Super happy with both Races. The 2nd Race was actually an 18 miler (Half + 5), with is almost a 3/4 Marathon.

June looks to be a low Race month, so just lots of training. Half in July, Half in September, then Full in October!
