Tough month of running in July

14km for the day.

100km for the month.

727km for the year.

The tough month of running in July. For the first 15 days of July, I just ran 31km. I moved into my new house and also adjusting to the new job routine didn't help. I was behind my target and I had to really catch up. I knew I was behind but I was confident that I would catch up.

In the last 16 days of July, I did 69km. It was tough. It got hotter and hotter every single day but I somehow managed to keep up the runs going on, especially at night. I targeted the weekends for longer runs. I couldn’t do proper long runs due to the heat. I had to do two runs in a day on the weekends. That helped me bring up the numbers. Today was the weekend when I actually got in a proper long run. I did 9km first and then 5km during sunset.

June and July have been really tough but I still managed to hit my targets. The rest of the year should be easy. Looking forward to August.

Beautiful sunset to end the month. 5 months to go.
