August workouts

Ok here goes...It seems, that "once again" I have let time slip away! I have many workouts to report on and just don't know where to start. So, here is another "month at a glance" for August!

August 1st: I ran outside on campus and it was beautiful :) I went 2.10 miles in 20:30. You can view my route here. I also walked out 0.11 miles to cool down in 1:57. You can view that route here. 

August 5th: My watch died on this run!! So, I only got 0.33 in my Garmin, but I knew it would happen so I turned on Map My Run! I ran 1.57 miles in 14:48. You can view my route here. 

August 7th: I had another breakthrough moment, I ran my first mile in 7:52! Here is my lap builder workout:
Ran 1 mile in 7:52!
10 reps each: push-ups, switch lunges, wall plank/knee-in, burpees, and squat jumps in 1:51
Ran 1 mile in 8:28
10 reps each: push-ups, switch lunges, wall plank/knee-in, burpees, and squat jumps in 1:55
My total time was 20:08 and I went 2 miles and did 100 reps! That was an intense workout!

August 11th: I ran on campus again...man was it hot! I went 2.01 miles in 19:32. I have 2 combined routes you can view here and here. I started walking and that's why I have 2 routes. I am not sure why I stopped my watch though...I paced 9:14 for the first 1.50 miles and did it in 13:56 and paced 10:55 on the last 0.51 miles and completed it in 5:36.

August 13th: I swam 1000 yards in the pool. I averaged 2:08 per 100 yards. I was proud of myself! I swam 1000 yards in 21:35 and 800 of that was in a row!

August 18th: I participated in an indoor spinning class for 45 minutes!

August 19th: I swam 1000 years in 22:00 flat! I swam 800 yards of that in a row! 

August 20th: I did a lap builder inside today. Once again, I broke a record for my mile!
Ran 1 mile in 7:40
10 reps each: push-ups, switch lunges, wall plank/knee-in, burpees, and squat jumps in 3:32
Ran 1/4 mile in 2:18
