Putting May in the past and looking to June!

I figured with a new month and lack of monthly check ins it might be time to look at my goals and see how things are going. I haven't really focused on it since running hasn't been great and now I just spent almost 6 weeks off

Fitness

  • Not much running this month, but I have now been cleared to run!
  • Started CrossFit and I love it! Great challenge and pushing myself out of my comfort zone.
  • My workouts are PT exercises, core strength, yoga, biking and Strength. What has happened to the runner?
  • I smartly backed out of a half marathon and am focusing on getting healthy


 Life

  • Work is kicking in full crazy mode!
  • May was Dance recital and Gymnastics show!
  • We have decided not to move so next up is massive remodeling!


Family

  • O finished her old school after many issues we decided a change was needed.
  • Matt and I had two date nights!
  • We added Cooper to our family (okay this was April)
June Goals:

Fitness:
  • Continue with PT exercises and yoga daily
  • Ease back in to running
  • Start full force marathon training June 23rd
  • Longest trail race this month: 10 Mile on June 28th

Life
  • Find the good work/life balance as things get even busier
  • Take 5 minutes for myself each day
  • Focus on healthy eating, no more boredom eating
  • Write Matt's fall marathon training plan and those for my two new clients



    Family/Friends:
    • We have a fun trip planned to surprise O with in June
    • Start O's new school
    • Dinner planned with friends
    • Get out with the MRTT group at least twice

    How was May? What are your June goals?

      I have been in discovery mode lately, playing sponge and learning a lot. I have more expectations for June, so let's see how it will go. ;)

    A few Races...

    Image
    Stillwater half was my final pre-marathon race. The weather was a mess, hot humid and gross! I ran with the 1:40 pacer to keep a nice pace and actually held myself back the first haf but yikes then we turned to the road and no shade and it all faded! I struggled to keep the "easy" pace as did everyone around me. I was happy to finish just 45 secs behind the pacer 1:40:45 and not too far off my goal of 1:38. That heat was brutal... Photo credit Stillwater Gazette Grandmas Marathon  For those who don't follow me on IG  @marathonmom28  here is the short version... I started great, on pace to PR then I became hypothermic (yes in June) and once the rain started it was painful (thank you Raynaud's). I finally walked off the course between mile 19-20 where Matt met me with dry clothes and a warm car. Grandmas this is strike 3, I think I am done!  I spent the car ride home thinking of next races and wondering if I could jump back in, (dumb I know). As we drove...

    GoMacro Thrive Review and Giveaway!

    Image
    All runners know that post marathon week(s) are filled with the fight to keep eating healthy yet indulge a little. I try to carry healthy snacks wherever I go to avoid the munchies. Needing gluten free makes finding healthy foods quick even tougher. I have my go to foods but love finding new options with such variety. I think my only complaint is the carb to protein ratio which for each bar is 3 or 4:1. I prefer a snack more along the 2:1 carb to protein ratio. To help this I add a few extra nuts to the bars when I have them for a snack, problem solved! Like all GoMacro products, Thrive are USDA-Certified Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Kosher, Gluten-Free certified, 100% Vegan, and soy-free. Thrive is currently available to purchase online and will become available to Whole Foods this month! GoMacro is offering 30% off to all my readers with code Thrive30 for online purchases Here The Thrive Bars come in 6 flavors: Caramel Coconut, Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip, Blueberry ...
