May Report Card

Is it just me, or did May fly by even faster than April? Lots of changes at work in May, and with that came a lot of craziness. There were plentiful of days that were straight up STRESSFUL!

The Bikini Series really helped to keep me sane. 😊

General Running/Training (25%): A

Definitely giving May an A. I've done really well sticking to the Bikini Series workout plan, and I definitely feel myself getting stronger. I'm even getting closer to fitting back into those jeans. You know the ones. I've had a few runs that felt pretty effortless with increased speed! Woot! Now, I just need to start incorporating some more speed workouts to see if I can get even a little bit faster.

Run at least 600 Miles (25%): B

May was better than April and definitely better than March, but I'm still a bit behind with this goal. The monthly average to complete this goal has now creeped up to about 57 miles per month for the rest of the year. It started at 50 miles per month, which I thought was going to be a challenge, but not too much of a challenge.

I'm still feeling pretty confident, though! The summer #RWRunStreak just started on Monday, so that will help increase my mileage in June. Plus, I won entry to a virtual race in Aug. There are different distance options, but I'm leaning toward the half marathon, so I should probably start training for that soon{ish}.

Be More Active in the Local Running Community (25%): A

I finally made it out for my first group run of the year. On Memorial Day. It was a lot of fun! We ran. We hiked to the summit. We ran some more. I stuck with a girl I'd met that day, and we were pretty perfect running mates.

1 of 8 group runs completed
1 of 3 times volunteering at a local race

12 Trails of 2017 (20%): A

This month we discovered a park in the northwest - Lone Mountain! We did a walk from one park to the other, and Sallie even came with us. Though she did get a wee bit hot. :)

Current Events Night (5%): C

While we still didn't do a Current Events night, I did catch-up on Last Week Tonight. I'm changing up this goal to spend a couple hours a month watching this program and then reading some follow-up articles/watching related videos to the topics John Oliver brings up on his show.

Final Grade for May: A-

Thanks to the Bikini Series, I'm really pleased with May! Forcing myself out to the group run on Memorial Day was a huge step for me, too.

It definitely was a good month. :)
