June Running Round-Up

June turned out to be a great running month for me. It's summer and the temperatures lend themselves to more outdoor miles. Of course, the outdoor miles are harder than the treadmill but they build character. That's what I tell myself as the sweat forms a river from my hair directly to my eyes. (OT = outside, TM = treadmill)

I had a sad discovery this month. My latest pair of Brooks is a size 10 and not a 10 1/2 like they should be. What was I thinking!? So, I've been wearing them for things other than running. I realize this is a huge no-no but I want to wear them out so I can justify a new pair in the correct size.

Time to register for a race. I need a goal to work towards........
