Ran 4 days and walked one day this week to make half of the full months total. A slow process but showing progress. Quite happy so far. No pushing the pace today at the monthly handicap.
But a big jump in km rate from July by 30 seconds a km.
Nothing planned running wise just to get the kms done to be able to tackle something later in the year. May be the half at Deep Space marathon early November and the Tour de Ridges in mid December.
