July & August 2011 - busy summer

It has been a busy summer, what with holidays, looking after my kids and starting a new job in teaching (biology), so regrettably my running has suffered somewhat. Difficult weather has often made it difficult to get runs in but I did as best as I could in the circumstances. I managed 11 runs for 121.55kms in July with a new 5km PB of 22:21 set at the Bushtukah Canada day race. In August I managed only 6 runs for 77.51kms.

The Army Half Marathon race is in September so hopefully I can get plenty of runs in so I can have a go at my PB of 1:44:24 set earlier this year. If not, then maybe an event PB by besting 1:48:50 that I managed last year in this event. Time will tell I guess.
