July Tally

The Numbers
- Swam 7300yds
- Cycled 178.6 miles
- Ran 41.1 miles
- Went to the gym 12 times for strength work (upper body weights, core, pushups, etc)
- Races - one 5K
- Other: Passed MSF class! Joined a running group! Conquered an OWS!

Thoughts
Big smile. I'm really pleased with progress in July. I couldn't run until July 10 due to the leg issue, that's all healed now. YAY. My training was fairly balanced for once. I'm happy about all the strength training at the gym. Gotta be happy about the surprise AG award at the 5K. I've started doing speed work with my running group. Got in one OWS which ended much better than it started. All in all, a good month.

Aug Plans
Sprint Tri this coming Saturday (not tomorrow). Otherwise, focus focus focus on the Half Mary and Oly tri in Sept, those are my A races. There's another sprint tri in Sep as well, but I'm treating both sprints as glorified brick workouts.

    The sprint race next weekend is not an A race for me either...I like your idea of thinking of it as a glorified brick :)
