here comes july

Well, July is officially here, but just barely as I write this. This weekend was another hot one. It seems as if that is the way this summer is going to go, whether I like it or not. As i geared up fro this past Saturday's long run, I made sure to hydrate-lots of water and soe gatorade to keep the salts in me. It paid off! This past saturday, I paced our 10min per mile group for the long run. A bit of a scary assignment, but it went fairly well. We ran 10 miles over two loops in Central Park. This is my longest run of the season and surprising, I feel pretty good. And even felt pretty good Sunday and Monday afterwards. I still haven't gotten in as much mid-week running as I would like. Hopefully that will change next week. This week will be a bit tough with the long holiday weekend. I will be heading to DC to visit some friends, and likely will not get in runs. But i will give this week my best shot and get on the bandwagon for sure when I return.
