Bike: 57 miles. Yay!

    Wow, so much running related activity for you these days! Awesome. And I love that you met so many bloggers in April, too. That’s one of my favorite parts of blogging- the friendships. Have a great weekend!

    May is a busy month both with work and the end of year stuff at school. I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s race and then our 18th anniversary later this month.

    May is going to be trying to keep my sanity while I’m sidelined from running! I’ve got plans for a 30 mile bike on Sunday. And I think there’s a half next week that I’m going to spectate at…let’s talk about that!

    Hi Marcia-
    Let’s add to that list of blogger hook ups, I”ll be hobbling at the May 18th race, but as of now, plan on being there.
    Would love to hook up!

    I don’t think I’ve ran 80 miles in the last year! What a great month with lots of good runs and meet ups. I wish I had more bloggers to meet up with out here.

marciashealthyslice I'm a working mom who, as part of a mid-life challenge, decided to run a marathon for kicks. I didn't plan on it becoming a hobby, but it did. I qualified for Boston at my second marathon and finished the 6 World Marathon Majors in London in 2019. Set no small goals. You never know what you're capable of until you try!
