momentum

16 miles at Kens this morning in 5:13.  Excellent outing today.  I started in the dark with no light at 6am.  It took much longer to get light than I thought it would.  I was 35 minutes in before I could run safely in the tree cover.  I took 3hrs getting in the first 2 loops (10ish miles).  Misty joined me for the last loop and we walked the entire 3rd loop in almost exactly 2hrs.
I could really tell a difference with the core-upper body stuff I've been doing.  I felt stronger at the end than I've felt in a long time.
Today was a great example of this month falling into place nicely.  I wanted to get around 5hrs on feet today and have my first day ever of 3 Kens loops and felt strong doing it even if we did walk the entire 3rd loop.  At this point that doesn't even matter.  It's still base building right now.
7 miles Tuesday morning will get me my goal of 120 miles for July and I'm very happy I'll reach my goal miles for this month.  That momentum will bode well for the future!!

July 113 miles
