July Running Recap

Vicki August 01, 2016
July is over... this year is flying by, where did it go!

I made some running goals for the year in January and it's time to check in to see how I'm progressing on them.

Goal:  Run 1,000 miles in 2016. I'm still little off track - I'm 50% of the way there with over 50% of the year gone. I got in 82 miles in July and my mileage is steadily increasing as I have begun to train for the Houston Half Marathon. I know the number will continue to rise as I start training for the Houston Marathon next month. I think I got this.

Goal:  Run 4 Half Marathons in 2016.  I've ran 3 so far - 1. Jail Break Run, 2. Run Like A Diva, 3. Running With The Cows.  I am signed up for the Houston Half at the end of October.  I may even exceed this goal as I am looking for another Half Marathon to run targeting late November to early December.

Goal: Register for and start training for the 2017 Houston Marathon.  I'm registered.  I have my training plan and training will commence in late September.



I'm linking up with MCM Mama Runs, Marcia’s Healthy Slice, and My no-guilt life for Tuesdays on the Run; and Nicole, Annmarie, Jen, and Michelle for Wild Workout Wednesday.

    Sounds like you have "simple" goals and are well on your way to meeting them.

    I think you'll do fine in your 1000 mile goal for the year. Marathon training will really make those miles add up!

    "I got in 82 miles in July" holy moly girl that's awesome! Good for you =)
    I love your running goals - they are great and you are keeping on track. 4 half marathons is great. I ran two this year and have one more to go.
    Are you using an app to keep track of your goals? I should do that next year.

    Great goals! I started the yr wanting to do 2,016 miles. But I know that is a lofty goal and I am no where near that. Maybe I need to aim for 1,000.

    Thanks. I keep track of the mileage goals in the app for my Garmin, but before I got my Garmin I had used Runkeeper to track them.

    With the goal 1000 miles for the year, you have to run average approximate 3 miles per day. I think it's easy for you to achieve if you run every day. Training for the marathon will make 1000 miles goal done soon.
