Can it be June already? School’s out as of tomorrow! Summer is flying by and it isn’t even officially here!
Here’s how May shook out:
Miles run: 108
While by no means a high mileage month, I was recovering from Boston afterall (yes it takes that long for this peri-geriatric). I did some of my fastest and most intense training of the year so far.
Rest Days: Oh 1, maybe 2 per week as usual
Color: I am all about purple, the official color for The Lupus Foundation.
Guilty Pleasure: I’m pretty much off the almonds but don’t worry I’m still indulging when I can. Behold this delectable tidbit: A Ritz cracker touched with almond butter then sprinkled with semi-sweet mini chips. Crunchy, salty, sweet, creamy, it’s my everything.
Drink: Kombucha baby! This stuff is a magic elixir. If you haven’t tried it, you need to.
Book: Finally finished The Winner’s Brain by Jeff Brown and Mark Fenske
Triumph: Reclaimed a smidge of speed and captured AG 1st at my 5k a couple of weeks ago.
Bane: A tie between the heat and mosquitoes
What else? This is ice show rush week when the frequency and duration of rehearsals reach their peak and culminate this weekend in a glittery, glamorous extravaganza. Holy double salchow, Sunday cannot come soon enough for this skating sherpa mom!
Wow–your schools get out early compared to us. We go until 6/23 this year, thanks to loads of snow days!
Never heard of Kombucha…will have to check it out. Good luck with the skating!
Your guilty pleasure looks decadent. I just might have to try that.
My school goes until 6/16. We're not even in the single digits for days left yet!
School's out? Not til June 18 for us. As a middle school teacher, I think I'm ready for it as much or more than my students 🙂 I'll check out Kombucha… thanks for the tip!
we had our first day at the pool today and I already feel like Summer is slipping through my fingertips!
Great post-Boston mileage!
We're in school until June 29th – and it can't come soon enough.
Great mileage and running success during your recovery month. Keep it up!
Great month! Sounds like lots of free time coming up soon 🙂 Enjoy! Have fun at the skating extravaganza.
great month. woot to the AG win! definitely makes any month a winner
Oooh, what a cool sweet, salty piece of deliciousness! You had a great month!
Haha, your "guilty pleasure" is healthier than some of my "healthy" snacks 🙂
Mmmm…that cracker looks divine. Makes me want to go eat some right now… 🙂
Wow – you have an ice skater in the house? That sounds like so much fun!
I've heard of Kombucha (isn't that the old drink that is making a comeback?), but I haven't tried it yet.
Definitely wanna pick up a copy of The Winners Brain; I've heard good things about that book!
Mmm, I love that Ritz cracker treat!! Not sure if I should kiss you or slap you for sharing that idea. 😉
Oh my, I will (maybe) have to try out the ritz cracker thingy. or not since it will undoubtedly have me wanting another and another. Congrats on your getting back into the swing of things. Take care.
That Ritz cracker concoction looks yummy 🙂
YUM, your tasty snack looks divine!! I've been following my carb/protein/fat ratios on fitday and I'm not sure where that would fit but it seems it's a good combo of all things needed! Great miles for May, girl!! I still need to total mine up, I was busy running last night and never got to it (hahaha…ya know my FB comment and all 😉 ). I can't believe summer's almost here and next week I am out of school, like your wee-ones. You know what that means…just a couple months 'til AUGUST!!! 🙂
Hi Marcia,
Congrats on a great running month! Your kids get out earlier than mine. We still have until next week. Mmmm, your tidbit looks so yummy!
salty and sweet is a killer combo…..nice job with your mileage!
My daughter had her last day of preschool last week, but my son isn't out for 3 more weeks!
My hubbs loves that Kombucha crap – I can't even plug my nose to get it down! Hahaha!
Yay for summer vacation – how easily we forget as adults how nice that was!
Great month!!
Looks like you had a good month! Yum…that ritz cracker creation looks really good! 🙂
Genius concoction with the Ritz cracker. And, I have everything already in my house. Can't wait to try it.
Congrats on the 1st in AG – stellar accomplishment!
oh i want a review of the book, was it worth the read?
anything with chocolate is a win in my book 🙂 glad all is going well!
