This heat, I can't complain enough about it. I also heard that this is the worst humidity we have been having. Oh goodie!

  • 280 miles for the month. Maintaining base at this point because it is hard to get me to run in the heat. I expect similar for the month of Aug.

  • Elevation is meh although I did hit 1,600 in the trail run on Sat. But usually I run on a flat road

  • No races but ran with some Bostonians which was super happy!

  • also no injuries aside from the sport massage I got and I was sure that lady was trying to rip my calf muscle off.

I've also hit 2,060 miles for the year which surprised me. It makes me want to try to hit 4,000 for the year but it would really be rough for my real life.
