July 2019 Runstreak Highlights

I had a runstreak in July. I did this two years ago with a minimum of one mile per day; this time I ran a 5K a day or more. Not much more; I ended up with 102.3 miles for the month.

HIGHLIGHTS
I ran 32 miles with West Volusia Runners in July, mostly at Mill Lake (8 times), counting towards the Summer Challenge.

I ran three races for about 10 miles total: the Firecracker 5K in Daytona Beach on July 6th; the Saturn 5K at Kennedy Space Center on July 14th; and the FLX Gemini Springs Trail Run here in DeBary on July 28th.

Early in the month, between the Spring-to-spring Trail and DeBary Hall, the path was resurfaced. It had been bumpy from tree roots so it was a welcome improvement.

I didn't experience any extra pain in my Achilles during the streak, but I could start to feel it in my knees. My speed didn't improve either but I'm still glad I did the streak. After a few days of rest I'll get back into it on Monday.
