Clearly I’ve not found my blogging groove. \u00a0But I have had a good running month so far. \u00a0My goal this year is to run 600 miles, which is 50 miles a month. \u00a0Given my racing schedule, that shouldn’t be a problem. \u00a0But unfortunately, I’ve been slacking. \u00a0Not this month though! \u00a0As soon as I finish today’s 9 miler (on the treadmill, sadly – stupid heatwave), I will have topped 50 miles for the month. \u00a0Of course, thanks to the previous months, I need to do around 57 miles for July through December to hit my goal of 600, but I’m pleased to be on the right track.<\/p>\n

I bought a treadmill this month. \u00a0It was on super sale because it’s summer and people run outside. \u00a0I love it. \u00a0I love having it. \u00a0And it meant that I could cancel my gym membership as well. \u00a0For so many people, a treadmill becomes a coatrack or a place to pile things. \u00a0Some of my friends have made similar comments. \u00a0Given the miles that I ran on the treadmill at the gym over the past few years, I think it will get quite a bit of use. \u00a0Probably more than the gym did, even. \u00a0I don’t have to travel to the gym, so on those awful weather days, I can just get dressed and hop on the treadmill with no trouble.<\/p>\n

I also bought a road bike yesterday! \u00a0I’ve wanted a bike for years, and I finally took the leap. \u00a0That was definitely an investment, and I hope that it’s something that I love. \u00a0I haven’t gotten a chance to take her out yet (see previously mentioned heat wave), but I’m hoping to get out for a few miles this afternoon and maybe a few more miles tomorrow with Laura. \u00a0I just have to do my best to not crash! \u00a0But I have a helmet, so I’ll be fine. \u00a0Went with platform pedals to start rather than clipless. \u00a0I want to get used to the bike first, then in a few months, switch to clipless. \u00a0Eventually, I’ll get a trainer for the winter, so there will be no excuse for not working out.<\/p>\n

And now it’s time for a \u00a09 miler on the treadmill. \u00a0Wish me luck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
