__NOTOC__
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.
==September 2014==
In September I got what I believe was a brown recluse spider bite on my wrist, which turned quite nasty. I ended up having to have antibiotics, which compounded the problems by upsetting my digestive system. As a result I decided to take things easy at the Hinson Lake 24 Hour race and cap it to 50 miles. I'm continuing to experiment with running more frequently, but I'm struggling to keep the [[Training Monotony]] low.

==August 2014==
My focus for August was recovering from Badwater and building my mileage backup. I experimented with doing my [[Downhill Running| Treadmill Descent]] runs as short second runs through the week, rather than one long treadmill descent on Fridays. This seems to work quite well, though the [[Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness]] builds up quite rapidly. I had a vacation to Iceland which was wonderful, but I didn’t run as much of their as I would like.
