July Totals (So Far)

• June 28-July 4: 18 miles plus cross training days
• July 5-11: 24 miles (abandoned cross training for the most part)
• July 12-18: 27 miles
• July 19-22: 32 miles (Must do 12 this weekend) (Need to get back into some cross training, especially weight lifting)
  

To keep potential injuries at bay, most runners' sites suggest we're only supposed to increase our distance around 10% a week from the previous week, but this week, we may be smashing through that. We're certainly putting ourselves into good shape for the marathon I'm considering running using the Rookie Marathon Training Plan I found . . . It isn't one of the sexiest marathons I could find, but travel won't be an issue, and I can handle cold much better than heat (Shelby might need some coverage, though). We shall see.
