For now I will happily say goodbye to the month of May, although I did have some seriously fun adventures.
Here's a look back at some memorable moments and my running goals:
Immediately following my trip to Atlanta, I headed to Cincinnati to get a quick family visit and run the Flying Pig Half Marathon with mr C. I wasn't into running when I lived in Ohio the way I am now, so this was my first time running this race. It was one of the best race weekends I've ever experienced.
I began working on a sponsored campaign with Under Armour and FitFluential. What's Beautiful is a competition that focuses on inspiring women to set goals and conquer them together. My goal is to work on adding up the miles to reach my running goal for the year. May was not my best month with 56.76 miles, but I'm not giving up on hitting 1000 for the year.
Another one of my goals for the year is to improve my overall core strength, so I jumped at the chance to try SurfSet at TI Fitness Training in Manchester with New Hampshire Bloggers & Tweeters. This all-in-one workout was the hardest thing I've done in a long time, but so fun I went back for more! This is going to be my summer core workout plan.
Even though May was filled with amazing running adventures, I'm disappointed that I didn't meet my monthly mileage goal to keep me on track to reach 1000 for the year. What's Beautiful is that I will keep pushing through the obstacles. I will not give up.
How was your May? Any achievements or setbacks?
You got the right attitude! You will not give up and you will keep on going! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat month Amy! May was a month of highs and lows that happily ended on highs!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to hear about the Mizuno Atlanta trip! I've never heard of the SurfSet workout before, but it looks awesome! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteSo jealous of you and your trip to Atlanta! Awesome!!! And the surf class looks like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great month! Can't wait to read more about your Atlanta trip. Sounds exciting!
ReplyDeleteLooks like May was pretty awesome@ Kudso to you! I hope next month helps you get closer to your mileage goal, too!
ReplyDeleteMay was a tough month of rehabbing my leg :(
ReplyDeleteI got back on track this May after running easier in April ... I hit my 310 miles for the month keeping my average of 10 miles per day on the year.
ReplyDeleteLove your month recap, this is a great idea! May is a tough one for me, sad anniversary, however, made it through running!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the support Kierston!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jill. I like happy endings ;)
ReplyDeleteI've only been to SurfSet twice, but plan to go more often once school is out for the summer!

ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm working on it.
ReplyDeleteI hope it worked! Being out is hard, but necessary sometimes.
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome! I'm trying to do 20 a week, but it's been challenging with the heat and muscle strain. You rock!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what running can do for us beyond fitness. Sometimes it's like a little hug on your heart <3
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a really busy month! I didn't have a lot of goals for May other than to recover from the marathon and ramp up for my upcoming Half (next week)
ReplyDeleteYou had a fabulous may! Here's to an even better June! :0)
ReplyDeleteMy month was the best I could hope for ...there is so much we have to do and sacrifices have to be made, but it is behind me and I hope for a great June. Thanks for sharing a review of what is going on with you lately.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great month! Excited to learn what you're doing with the Mazamashii run project. Cheers to an amazing June!
ReplyDeleteHow cool, I've never seen a class that involved surf-boards. Points for creativity!
