This is not the log of each workout I do, but rather a higher level summary of what's happening with my training overall. For a detailed log, I use [[SportTracks]] and publish to [[Dailymile]] at http://www.dailymile.com/people/JonathanS.
==July 2011==
July was an interesting month for me.
* After my return from England I decided I needed to lose some weight, though when I started, I had no idea how much I had to lose. By the end of July I was down 10 pounds and feeling much better.
* I restarted my altitude training, which has gone far better this time. It may be because the heat has slowed down my training anyway, maybe because I'm eating more beetroot (vasodialator) or that I'm being more careful to avoid the lower O2 saturations.
* The heat in Charlotte has been the worst I've known, and it's really slowed me down.
* Without intending to, I found myself in the middle of the month starting to run every day. This was triggered by being unable to run on my usual days, so I started off with some extra 'back to back days'. I found that running every day helped keep my appetite more stable, and thus my weight loss was easier. This has contributed to the higher than normal mileage this month.

==June 2011==
I spent the first three weeks of June in the UK on the lead up to the West Highland Way Race. Being on vacation, and leading up to a race, I did little running, so my June numbers are quite low.
