I have Been Slacking.... Again.... :(

The last 3 weeks have been utter hell with runs.....  first training week barely got me 42 miles, 2nd week I ended up with 27 miles because I just didn't want to get there for my long run. The heat and humidity has been kicking my ass big time, last week I decided to run each day just so I wouldn't risk missing a day and still missed my Mid-Long run on Wednesday and only got 4 miles that day instead of 7. But I did run my long run, and that 14 miles got me 43.9 miles for last week.
All in all, last week I ran 43.9 miles, worked out a total of 9 hours and 48 minutes with 12 workouts (including my runs and weight lifting). Now I am going to get back on track, or try to, with blogging.
This week marks only 15 more weeks until the Monumental so I've got to get my butt in gear and stay on track, I am hoping that even though July is going to go out with some nasty heat, August will bring in cooler weather. By cooler weather I mean temps in the 80's and I'll be happy.
Yesterday (Monday) I went to the gym for Biceps, Triceps and Chest day.
Standing Barbell Curls: 50lbsX12reps, 40lbsX12reps, 50lbsX10reps, 40lbsX12reps, 50lbsX10reps

This morning I ran 4.2 miles in muggy weather - 75 degrees, 89% humidity and  a dew point of 70. It was just blah and bad, but I finished it in 44:15 with an average pace of 10:32 min/mile.
Then with a change of clothes I headed to the gym for 40 minutes of Shoulders/Delts
 Cable Face Pulls: 2 sets / 15 reps / 60 lbs, 4 sets / 15 reps / 70 lbs 
Converging Plate Loaded Overhead Press: 80lbsX10reps, 4 sets / 12 reps / 80 lbs 
Barbell Upright Rows: 40lbsX12reps, 45lbsX8reps, 40lbsX12reps, 45lbsX8reps, 40lbsX12reps, 45lbsX8reps 
Rear Delt: 55lbsX12reps, 60lbsX8reps, 55lbsX12reps, 60lbsX8reps, 55lbsX12reps

 Then I headed to the riverfront and changed my clothes (again) and ran another 3 miles in 30:44 with an average pace of 10:14 min/mile.

I am no longer going to the gym on Wednesdays, instead I will be aiming to run my mid-long runs of 7-10 miles.
