Miles run: 126.3 mi - 5th month in a row of 100+ miles
Rest days taken: 10 - pretty standard for me since I usually run 5 days a week.
Highest mileage week: 35 miles (7/18-7/24)
Average pace: 8:19 min/mile
Races: No race July
Current Obsessions: Looking at other people's wedding photography! Have you seen Page's post about her gorgeous wedding??? I just cannot get enough!
Current Blessings: Brian. He is single-handedly keeping me sane while everything starts to get crazy as we get closer and closer to the wedding!
Current Excitement: Bridal shower and bachelorette party for me THIS weekend! Woohooo!
Current Read: The Lost Gate by Orson Scott Card. Let me start by saying that I love Orson Scott Card. We had to read Ender's Game in high school and I just started to reading more and more by him. So when I saw he had a new book out at the Library I scooped it up. And once again he did not disappoint. This book is slightly similar in context to the movie Jumper.
Current Guilty Pleasure: Jelly Belly jelly beans. Seriously, my sugar intake needs to come way down.
I cannot believe it is AUGUST!

That is exciting that you have your shower & bach party this weekend. How fun. Your wedding is fast approaching. :) How exciting!
I haven't read anything by that author - I will have check that author out!
Great job on the mileage and pace; especially during such a brutally hot month! Have a great time this weekend, cherish every minute and live it up! You're only a bride once! ;)
YIKES!! - It's AUGUST already!?! I am surprised by that average temp... it has felt MUCH hotter than that. Awesome month, Joanna, esp. despite the heat.
Hope you can stay sane for another 39 days. :-) Ditto on the jelly beans... candy always helps me stay more sane, less crazy. Speaking of which, I may just have to grab some bin candy for Saturday night, haha!! I mean, Wegmans will be right there....
I think you did great on your July goals.
We haven't had a single day last month that was above 20C. July has been too cold for the time of year. But I'm glad the first day of August starts with sunshine. Can't wait to leave work and go home and take my dog for a walk.
Enjoy your parties this weekend! Your wedding came up so fast!
Ooh, I din't know he had a new book out. I may have to go to the library this week! Great month for you.
I am SOO with you on the looking at other people's wedding pictures as a current obsession! I have a post on deck for my blog about that topic!
Wow! Your wedding is coming up. I'm sure Brian and running are helping you to keep your cool. Maybe a poor choice of words with the heat! Have fun at your parties!!
ahhhhh wedding squeal and dance!!!
I was going to say, those temps seem off! :)
WTG on the high mileage months! That is awesome!!!
Eeeee, you are getting married NEXT MONTH!
Great month!
I have cut my jelly beans out completely. I realized -- somewhat belatedly -- that if you don't buy them, you can't eat them. Huh! I still crave them big time, though, so good luck with that!!
Just 'discovered' your blog, and geez what a post to run into! All those miles and a wedding coming... amazing! I look forward to reading future posts.
Have the most magical of special days, be sure to take time to savour it (the day will go by so fast).
Cheers, A.
Wow, you had an excellent month! SO exciting that your shower and bachelorette are this weekend. Yay!
