Monumental goals on the horizon

Just as I was starting to get fit, I seemed to have puttered out at the end of May.  

Travel for work and personal obligations led to multiple days off.  I was able to sprinkle in some runs here and there but the mileage is still down from where I'm normally at.  

It's June 1st and I'm going to use the turning calendar page to try to turn it around.  

Today I ran 8 miles at 6:58 pace.  Hard run on a hot and humid morning but I don't think I over did it.  

Then, this afternoon I signed up for the Monumental Marathon.  Plenty of time to but need to start building the long run back up.
