Week 31 was a little consistent, let’s see how this week turns out.
But, before we dive into this week, let us revisit July’s highlights and what things I accomplished during the last month (running-wise).
In July, I got to go outside only 20 times in the entire month. In these 20 times, I ran 60.7 miles in total, taking up 11 hours and 27 minutes roughly. It is a good number, but not something to proud of, especially since it is officially a summer time here in Michigan.
Now, let’s start with this week’s running update.
Day 214 – 08/02/2021 – 3.7 miles
This day was a little different than my most running days.
Instead of completing the 3 rounds of the DOGE loop, I decided to break them down and completed only one round each time I went out for a run.
During the first two runs, I stopped before my usual loop finish line, covering only 1.2 miles and missing out on the last 10th of a mile. The last round of the DOGE loop, I made sure I cross the finish line, completing 1.3 miles on the last run, totaling 3.7 miles.
Day 215 – 08/03/2021 – 4 miles
The second day of the week for running.
Today, I made sure I complete my usual quota of running 3 rounds of the DOGE loop, to cover a distance of 4 miles. The run was quite enjoyable, especially during the early hours of the day, giving me a head start for the day. Whenever I run in the morning, it gives me an extra boost of energy, which helps me face my day with stronger zeal and power.
Day 216 – 08/04/2021 – 3.6 miles
And this turned out to be the last day of running for the week.
As usual, I got outside around the DOGE loop for my run. Unfortunately, I couldn’t go out in the morning, so I had to force myself out the door at around 4PM to cover some distance before calling it a week.
The temperature outside was in 80s, so I had to make sure I don’t run at my usual pace, and tried keeping it near 15′ minutes per mile. This strategy paid off, as it helped me cover 3.6 miles of distance without tiring myself too much and not facing any serious repercussions.
Before you go, please check out the week number 32 highlights. I finished 11.3 miles this week, bringing the distance covered in 2021 to 477+ miles.
See you next week!
