Subject: Running Every Day in July

I've heard about other people doing this challenge so I thought I'd give it a "tri" (haha, I'm so funny!).  I'm going to run every day during the month of July, even if its just a mile.  So far, I'm two days in and two-fer-two.  Yea me!

Since it doesn't look like I'll be able to get another tri in this season (silly life getting in the way of racing), I figure I'll try all the workout things I've wanted to try but haven't since I've been focusing on tri training.  So, for July, that's a whole lotta running.

Wish me luck!

Great goal! You could also join the Peach or Battle of the Sexes challenges, if you want some additional 'motivation.'

July Peaches:
"For the month of JULY, it's all about Peach boxes on your calendar. If you have not noticed, when you post a workout, the box for the day turns peach. The goal is 100% Peach for 31 days."

Battle of the Sexes:
" Team lines have been drawn as boys versus girls.... Each participant can pick up to 4 goals, minimum of 1 goal to participate, 4 maximum."

I'm a week in and so far, have run a little bit every day.  I was really nervous about injury - I have terrible hip joint issues - but so far so good!  Of course, I haven't run very far or very long on any day, but my plan is to increase milage and distance slowly over the course of the month.

Good luck to you!

I accomplished my first "run every day in a month" just last month. Like you, I decided to challenge myself after running on both the 1st and 2nd of the month. I hadn't run three days in a row since probably high school.

The toughest day for me to get out was on the 10th (which is coming up), so stick with it! You have a great plan with lower mileage - consider really slowing the pace down as well (that helped me).

Again, good luck and keep it up!!

Is it possible I'm faster already?  I did an 8K last night (Bastille Day, of course!) and did really well for me!  I was certainly more confident, if nothing else.
