During the month of July I only ran 151.52 miles. That was the lowest running distance I’ve covered during a month in several years. Reviewing those numbers embarrasses me because I set a goal at the beginning of this year of running 2,400 miles before the end of this year. Currently I’m ahead of schedule by nearly 100 miles, but the month of July ate more than sixty miles of my reserves. I expect to run more during the month of August, but at this stage of the month, I cannot tell how much I’m going to run. This morning I left my house at 4:00 a.m., but in order to make it to the office by 6:30, I had to conclude my run after only one hour. I only covered 6.71 miles, which just isn’t enough running for me. Still, I was happy to get back out there. I intend to do better this month.
