Let me tell you about how July is going for me:

Mileage:  To date I’ve run 61.62 and walked 36.36 miles.

Run the Year 2024:  I signed up to run and walk 2,024 miles this year.  So far I have completed 291.61 miles (per the RTE Tracker).  I am training for the Chicago Marathon and I am excited to see how it will go and to see how many miles it will add to this goal.

Current Book:  I read “Bright Burning Things”, “Leaving”, “The Taste of Ginger”, and “Lucky”.  Currently, I am reading “The Bright Side Running Club”.

 

Injuries:  I’m still dealing with plantar fasciitis.  I purchased a pair of orthotics for running.  I like them but the size I bought doesn’t fit correctly in my shoes.  They were bothering me during my long run on Sunday.  I bought a bigger size and those fit better.  Today I will see how they feel.

Races:  None.

Health:  I am doing OK.  I am still dealing struggling with hot flashes and the weight gain.  I went to the doctor because of the weight gain.  She ordered a blood test to check the thyroid, A1C, etc.  Crossing my fingers that my A1C level went down.  The last time I had a blood test, I was pre-diabetic.

School:  Still on Summer Break and will return to work on August 12th.  I am a little excited about it.  Currently, I have 23 students in my classroom.  I’ve sent them all a welcome letter and they should receive it this week.

What I am looking forward to next month:  A new school year with new students!
