June was my lowest-mileage month of 2019 so far, but it certainly wasn’t a bad month. I ran in a lot of cool places, and I also got back into a regular yoga practice. I ran 82 miles. I realized with about four days to go that trying to get 100 miles for June was … More June running wrap-up: Less running, but lots of cool locations

I’ve surpassed the 1,200-mile mark during two calendar years — 2016 and 2018. But even though that means I averaged more than 100 miles per month, I’ve never had a year where I logged more than 100 miles in every month. So far, I’m on track to do so for 2019. I didn’t make this … More April: Keeping the 100+ miles per month streak alive
If I’d run all the miles I’d planned for March, I think I would have ended up with my highest-mileage month again. However, an injury derailed that a little bit.

Here are some other things … More March Wrap-Up: A mostly-successful month of running interrupted by a slight injury!
I’ve been running A LOT. I know this is relative from runner to runner. But during my Salisbury Marathon training, I’ve been running many more miles than I usually do. Since I also run a lot of miles at a relatively easy-for-me pace, I’ve been spending a lot of time on the roads and trails. … More February: Shortest month of the year, highest monthly mileage ever logged!

Follow @vanessajunkin Another month of running has come and gone, and this was an exciting one when it came to my total mileage. I ran 104.71 miles.

Follow @vanessajunkin By the time I got around to being ready to write my June running wrap-up, it was so late in the month that I figured I would just combine June and July in one post. In June, I ran 66.05 miles, and in July, I ran 128.55. June was my lowest-mileage month this year … More June and July Wrap-Up: No races, but increasing mileage
