Last run of the month! I've run about 93 miles in August. Not a whole lot if you're training for an ultra-marathon, but it's cool to me, since when I very first started running again after Juliet was born--I hadn't run much since middle school--I was running about 9 miles a week, or under 40 miles a month. (Of course, the flip side of this is that my shoes wear out a lot faster...)
Today was a 40-minute tempo run (on the treadmill while Jules and Isaac were asleep). I started out running an 8:50 mile, worked up to an 8-minute mile, and back down again. I always feel like I'm running much more slowly when I do tempo runs than when I do interval training--it's so much easier for me to do those 400-meter repeats at a faster pace than it is to do a steady build. Which is why I train with both, I suppose.
STATS: 4.7 miles, 8:28/mile
