Unintentionally took a couple weeks off; the week before the 14er, because of my questionable foot (I fell into a spare tire and bent my foot backwards, and it's been weirdly swollen and my toe was mysteriously purple), and then the week after the 14er. I rode twice in that time - 15 miles, and 20 miles. Running for July was lame. Time to pick the pace back up.
Sunday, I set out at 11 with Skyler, and ran up the path to the elementary school. I sent him left, to go home (he's starting building from a mile) and I went right, to do my route in reverse. Wound up running 5.8 without realizing/intending to. Felt great. Last night, I didn't want to be near all the traffic, so ran on the trail. Hammered out 5 miles, negative splits. Felt great!!!
Tomorrow I resume morning runs with Emily. Looking forward to that!
I have to keep the momentum up so I don't completely fizzle out over the winter. This'll be Winter #2 of my life that I refuse to give in to.
