July Running Round Up

I am proud to say I hit my 50 miles this month with a few to spare. I’m not proud to say the majority of my runs were done inside on the treadmill. This had nothing to do with the heat of July. Only a couple days were deemed too hot to run outside by my thermometer. Lately, I’ve been having a difficult time pushing myself. There are no races on the horizon to work towards and therefore, I don’t have any impending goals. Additionally, I have recently become entranced by the ABC show Scandal. I started watching it on Hulu this summer and cannot get enough! Sudsy evening soaps win over scalding sidewalks every time.
