June Goals


May Accomplishments
Run my first half marathon of the year: I ran it, I finished…it wasn’t pretty! Thanks to…
I won a 5K! A week before the half I decided to race a hilly 5K and won 1st woman 2nd behind 1 other guy.
Running 5K with O to start our running year! We dropped thanks to thunderstorms, so no Color Run.
I start working with a coach this month. In just a few short weeks I am doing more speed work and faster paces than ever!
Yoga once a week! Oops, more like once total!
O learned to ride her 2 wheel bike! One morning she said she was ready and just ike that took off, no help at all.
I planted my garden. Corn, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers (including ghost peppers), basil, lettuce and broccoli

June Goals
I will be taking the Metabolic Efficiency Certification Course for Medical Providers (course rescheduled from May). I can’t wait to use this to improve my training and help others. I’m loving the info in the books so far.
No races in June! Focus on training runs and strength.
Walk at lunch 1-2 days per week
Yoga or pilates weekly My flexibility is awful!
Start bi-weekly mason jar salad groups
Start figuring out winter vacation (yes already!). Any suggestion of good warm weather gluten free friendly resorts?

What did you accomplish in May? What are your June goals?

Stop back later this week for a Nathan giveaway!

A few Races...

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...

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.
