MAYhem

MAYhem is drawing to a close. It was yet another tough week in the news…I have no words…

This week was quiet on the work front, giving me a chance to clear the decks before the new month rolls in. And, on the homefront, my high schooler finished classes and all of the end-of-year school stuff and is now prepping for exam week. It was also race week, so the workouts were fairly low-key…but the #optoutside streak (Day 60 as of today!) continued. Here’s how things played out.

Week 21 – Winding Down May

Monday — 2-mile walk, Upper Body Strength, & Stretch
Tuesday — 2-mile walk otherwise rest day
Wednesday — 3-mile run, Core & Stretch

When you match the flowers you stop for a photo, right?

Thursday — 2.5-mile walk & Yoga
Friday — 3-mile run, Core & Stretch

Saturday — 1.5-mile walk, Upper Body, Core & Stretch
Sunday — Race Day: Boston’s Run to Remember 5 Miler! Running felt really good today and I’m happy with my effort. I’ll share a recap in the coming days.

Now I’m looking forward to lazing on the deck and enjoying some family time!

How was your week? How are you spending this long weekend?

I’m linking up with Kim and Deborah for the Weekly Run Down. Join us!

Coffee with a side of MAYhem!

I took one look at the calendar and announced “Welcome to MAYhem!” May has often been a busy month around here but I feel like this time around could set a new record!

I’m happy to take a moment to pause to catch up with Coco and Deborah and you for the Ultimate Coffee Date! It’s also time for another edition of Fit Five Friday so let’s settle in and catch up a little.

Coffee with a side of MAYhem

Over coffee, I’d tell you that we kicked off the month with a day trip to participate in the Admitted Students Day of what may be my son’s new college home. It made for a long day, but my son really loved everything he saw and heard so hopefully, he’s closer to making a final decision. (My husband and I really liked it too!)

Over coffee, I’d tell you that over the course of the next two weeks I have 3 major work events…each of which would be a serious undertaking in its own right, much less all stacked together. Need I say more?!

Over coffee, I would tell you that a couple of weeks ago I signed up to do another 14-day sugar detox. I got so much out of the first one I did last fall and of late, I’ve been feeling the need for a little food/eating reset. Did I mention the start date is Monday?

And, speaking of starting things next week, remember the certificate program I mentioned over coffee last month? Care to guess when those classes are starting? All I could do was laugh when I realized what the start date was.

And to round out the month, over coffee, I would tell you that I have my first race on Memorial Day Weekend!

Yes, it’s going to be a crazy month, but it’s also filled with some good stuff. Just gotta take it one day at a time…

How about you? What have you got planned for the month?
