Stupid toe..
Awesome month! I am just getting full on into training this week..and am sore. Spin/core kicked my butt this week. I may to buy an epsom salt tree.
Good luck with your toe! I've had a good month--I PRed at the 5k distance last weekend, and I'm gearing up for another 5k on Saturday!

I was JUST singing that Lady G song in my head - gah, can't get it out!

I had a pretty slack month but I'm ready to get back on track in July! I hope you can race tomorrow!
All I can say is WOW!
i have the same current wish list...but it's not really a wish. i'm just spending ridiculous amounts of money regardless. this darn biking hobbby...sucking me dry. this wknd is new pedals, shoes and aerobars. it...never...ends.
have a great long wknd!!
Well done on a super busy and successful June! My month ended with a low total due to my fractured toe at the beginning of the month. I did 211.2km but I must say the last two weeks were great. Looking forward to a great July! Good luck with that toe!
I do not have the energy these days to keep up with all of my stats but I love reading yours ;)
Holy sh*t Marlene!!! That's almost 300 miles for the month!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are amazing!
Do you ever have a less than stellar month?
And I totally love that you called it McPigs!
I love Lady Gagas song! I was just dancing to it in the car this morning! great job on June! This month flew right by!
I hope your toe nail bed heals soon! Love your song of the month! My month has been great because I ran a marathon and then was on vacation for almost two weeks of it.
mmmm diet coke. its my addiction! mmmmmmm my mouth waters just looking at your cup! LOL
What a great month you had! And I hope you can run tomorrow too! Thinking happy thoughts for you! Have a fabulous and fun weekend with all you fun activities planned! :)
