Looking Back: July
“Warm, mellow summer. The glowing sunbeams brand every nervus tingle. The novel needles of the pines together with fir are nearly total grown together with smoothen gloriously.” - John Muir
Running: I had a distich of pretty substantial weeks of running, bringing the total inwards July to 238 miles together with most 40,800 feet of climbing. In addition, I am finally getting dorsum on the bike, together with logged most 65 miles this month. Last month, I too did most twenty miles. My destination was to ride to operate 1 time a week, which is most five miles. However, for the get-go one-half of the year, I basically did non ride at all. So instantly I receive got to keep an average of most 10 miles per calendar week or xl miles a month, which I am on rails to create if I boot the bucket on it up!
I receive got too been doing yoga 1 - 2 times per calendar week (this one). The yoga together with the biking are definitely making my legs to a greater extent than heavy when I run, but I intend that's generally because this is the get-go calendar month of doing all of it together. Hopefully my trunk volition instruct accustomed to all the unlike activities together with it volition live stronger rather than to a greater extent than tired!
Reading: In July, I did a lot of driving together with quite a few solo runs together with cycle rides. What this ended upwards translating to was to a greater extent than "reading" inwards the cast of audiobooks! I read a total of eleven books, five of which were audiobooks (in italics). There were some pretty skillful ones. I receive got listed them below inwards gild of preference (with books from my ain shelf inwards bold). I receive got noticed 1 thing: my liking an audiobook tin flame depend a lot on whether or non I similar the narrator, which isn't genuinely fair to the author. Also, I tend to non pay equally much attending when I am listening to a majority versus reading it myself, peculiarly since unremarkably I am driving or doing something else at the same fourth dimension rather than focusing exclusively on the book. However, it is a keen agency to instruct ii times equally many books read!

Travel: What a keen month! I genuinely had a distich of weekends at home, which is really strange for a July, but I am non complaining! I got to finally create some things simply about the house, equally good equally prepping for my side past times side trip, which is inwards August. However, I did pass some fourth dimension inwards Oregon, equally I e'er create inwards July, together with I too went on a camping ground trip to Mammoth, which was a piddling unlike than expected due to the heavy amount of snowfall inwards the Sierras this year. Let's simply tell that running was superseded past times slip-sliding, hiking together with route finding together with the military camp site that nosotros wanted was even hence located on a unopen road. It was even hence a lot of fun together with the high Sierras were beautiful covered inwards snowfall together with ice.
Etc.: So far inwards the garden at that topographic point are some ripe tomatoes together with a few cucumbers, but I intend that a rat is eating my zucchini equally I boot the bucket on finding chewed nubs. Darn it, varmit. So I am simply starting to live able to receive got tomato plant salads together with to receive got a 1 time inwards a spell cucumber snack. I too had some potatoes that were sprouting eyes, hence I planted them lastly calendar week for a "fall planting." We shall encounter if they take! And the corn is growing! No ears yet, but it's getting taller!
Where did you lot instruct inwards July? What is your favorite summertime read hence far? Do you lot receive got anything fun planned for the residual of the summer?
