I wrapped up July with my highest monthly mileage to-date and could not believe the difference when compared with last July - while training for the same race!
The numbers say it all.

I just hope it pays off! August will be a big one.

Jonathan at Zensah® orecently offered to send me one of their seamless running shirts to test out.
What makes Zensah® different:
• Seamless construction – Eliminates chafing
• Zensah® Silver Ions- Reduces bacteria growth & takes away the stink
• Soft Hand – Most comfortable workout you will ever have
• Pinpoint compression- Provides compression where you need it
• Moisture Wicking- Faster than the other guys
This shirt is marketed as "The most comfortable women's running shirt you will ever wear." I completely agree with this statement! The fabric is super soft and feels barely there. Since trying it out, I've really noticed the seams in my usual running tops.
I think I'm going to have to try out one of the seamless running bras to see if I can finally put an end to chafing on my chest and back.
Zensah Seamless Running Shirt: APPROVED!
And even more...

That shirt looks great! I would love to see a pic of you in it! Good job on your mileage!
I want to see a pic of you in the shirt! Is it really clingy? How thick is the material? Is it sheer at all? So many questions -- but it matters to me! Thats' why I am so reluctant to order things online like this!
The extra mileage will translate to a better performance on the course. You are getting a lot of long runs and those weekday mid-long runs will help bolster your endurance efforts! Sub 4 this time around?
Your consistency amazes me - honestly I'm always inspired by your running log over here!! The difference is amazing - you're going to completely ROCK this marathon!!!
Those are some amazing numbers! I'm sure it will totally pay off.

I've been slacking on my runs lately (although not as much as my Nike+ widget would have you believe - it hasn't been updating properly).
