Still not feeling 100%, so I ended up just running an easy 4 miles tonight. The fartlek workout, although important, will have to wait for another day. Hopefully another day of easy running tomorrow will allow me to complete my long run on the weekend; I hate to miss workouts and today is the first time I haven’t met the McMillan goal. Oh well, there’s always tomorrow….
I also decided to postpone Day 3 of Week 5 of the Hundred Push Ups plan until tomorrow.
On a positive note, I logged 227 miles in July; my highest monthly total to date. I wonder what August has in store?
