June was pretty much a month of training squeezed in among several out-of-town trips. I didn’t ride the bike once.
I did get some new shoes, switching to Saucony Kinvara 3s for the road (LOVE THEM!) and getting a pair of Saucony Xodus 3.0 trail shoes from my wife for my birthday. I did my first trail run on June 30th and am planning to work in some trail runs into the training plan. I also registered for a trail race in August – might as well put the shoes (and me) to work!
Anyway, here are the stats for the month that was June 2012:

Training Program(s):
- I continue using the plan I made using a combination of the Runner’s World Smart Coach app with pace adjustments using the McMillan Running Calculator: Weekly mileage: 25-35 miles a week – Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. Weekday sessions ranged in distance from 5 to 8 miles, with the weekend session being the “long run” day at 10 to 14 miles. The plan integrates Easy Runs, Tempo Runs, Speed Runs, and hill workouts.
- On the plan, I added a cycling session on Mondays this month to mix things up – though I was not able to ride at all this month. I’m already back on track in July though!

I noticed this menu-item indicator at a restaurant we ate at recently. I didn’t partake, though I thought about it…maybe next time.
The restaurant was Mama’s on 39 in Huntington Beach.

K got me some trail running shoes for my birthday, so I decided to test them out this morning on a short run. Me like!
It was a nice run and good hill workout. Pretty cool that this park is less that a mile from home!
I still will focus on road running, but I think I’ll mix in trails occasionally – even a trail race in August!

In the First Few Seconds
Your muscles start using adenosine triphosphate (ATP), energy molecules your body makes from food.
That burst of power you feel? It’s ATP converting into another high-powered molecule, adenosine diphosphate (ADP). Muscle cells, expert recyclers, will turn ADP back into ATP after the initial surge.
