Went to Ky to visit family over the weekend and didn't run. I had planned on getting out while I was down there but just got tied up and never made it out. Running for the month of July was bad and I need to get back on track. Now that the vacation and travel have settled down I should be able to get back into a better routine.

I had early morning meetings so ran at lunch today so it was warm (78) and windy. I felt pretty good starting out but ran the last 4 miles into the wind so the combination of wind and warm weather slowed me down a little. The main goal this week is just to get in a run every day and try to get back to normal mileage. Anything above that is a bonus.

63:33 (7:57 avg)

PM: Ran 1.5 miles with my daughter at the track. After we took turns running the 100. It has been a long time since I tried that. I ended up a little over 15 seconds so not quite as fast as the last time I tried it which was probably high school.

I'm going to say that having the lack of miles in July isn't a bad thing. Your giving yourself a break and this definitely helps running to now become an addictive behavior (take it from me).

That's a great run with your daughter. Very special times together.

My daughter is going to run CC this fall so it has been fun running with her to get ready. She is not totally committed to it yet so I am trying to stay patient with her and not push too much. Hopefully it will be a good experience for her. On my running, I think since I haven't had any goals/target races this year I have kind of just been going through the motions. I am going to pick out some races this fall and maybe that will give me better focus.
