My training for the last half of July was fairly uneventful. I ran 29 miles the week of 7/15 and 30 miles the week of 7/22. I had planned to log a few more miles the week of 7/22 but it just didn't work out that way. On my Sunday run (on July 28th) I started to have some foot pain along the outside edge in the danger zone (aka stress fracture zone) so I backed off the pace and finished up my run. I was due for a crash week. Every so often I take a crash week rather than a rest week. The difference - I don't run. At all. A full seven days of no running. I'm usually a little stir crazy by Thursday morning but it seems to make a difference in my ability to continue ramping up my mileage. Like they say, we are an experiment of one. And just like that July is over...
