Let me tell you how June went for me:

Mileage:  I started running again!  How many times have I said that this year?  This month I ran 16.72 and walked 4.80 miles.  It has been insanely hot these past couple of days.  I’ve been out before 6:30am and now am wondering if I should get out earlier.

Run the Year 2025:  I signed up to run and walk 2,025 miles this year.  I checked my stats and I am way behind.  I knew it so I am not surprised.  In order to meet my goal, I need to run/walk 10.30 miles per day.  For the moment I am not going to adjust my goal, but see how I do these next couple of months.

Current Book:  I finished reading “The Swimmers”, “Black Cake”, and “The Violin Conspiracy”.  Currently, I am reading “The Golden Couple” and am loving it.  I did cheat a little and read the endings (before I was finished with the book) for the last two books.  I was curious to know what happens but didn’t want to wait till the end.  I should be done with “The Golden Couple” today or tomorrow.  It will be book #11 of my goal.  I am sure I will meet my goal of reading 25 books this year.

Injuries:  None.   My feet are swollen which I attribute to the weather.  

Races:  None.  However, this month I signed up for the 4 on the 4th race in July.  I am excited about it.

Health:  For the most part I am feeling OK.  The weight goes up and down.  I have been feeling more tired these past couple of days.  Is catching up on sleep really a thing?  

I went to the doctor for a skin check.  Everything is fine, but she did remove two moles and sent them to the lab.  She told me that she thinks they’re not cancerous but wants to make sure.  It’s been almost a week since I saw her and she told me it will be 1-2 weeks to get the results back.  Everyday I check my email to see if I have a message from her.

School:  I am done with Summer School!  The three weeks went by fast.

What I am looking forward to next month:  To relax.  To catch up on my reading.  To continue and maybe finish organizing my house.  I love saying that- my house.  I plan to have someone working on my kitchen and bathrooms (one of the things I love about this house is that there are 1.5 bathrooms on the first floor).  I want to replace the toilets and remove the tub and have only a shower; remove the dishwasher and install a cabinet for more storage; and make one of the closets in the bedroom closest to the kitchen a pantry.  A lot right?  Maybe, but not as much as when I remodeled the basement.

Let me tell you how May went for me:

Mileage:  I ran the first half of the month and then stopped.  I am not sure why, but I hope this is temporary.  This month I ran 14.43 and walked 2.82 miles.  It was less than last month, but there are still a few more days this month to catch up.

Run the Year 2025:  I signed up to run and walk 2,025 miles this year.  I don’t know how many miles I’ve completed and won’t check for a few months.  I know the number is really low.  I will check once I’ve been running and walking consistently. 

Current Book:  I finished reading “The Unhoneymooners” and am currently reading “The Midnight Library”.  I enjoyed the former book and am enjoying the latter book.  Reading this book has me thinking about what my life would be if I had made different choices in my life.

Injuries:  None.  Sometimes I do feel some pain/stiffness in the hip area.

Races:  None.  However, this month I signed up for the 4 on the 4th race in July.  I am excited about it.

Health:  For the most part I am feeling OK.  The weight goes up and down.  I have been feeling more tired these past couple of days.  Is catching up on sleep really a thing?  

School:  I am finally done with school!  Hallelujah!!

What I am looking forward to next month:  To relax.  To catch up on my reading.  To continue and maybe finish organizing my house.  I love saying that- my house.

Let me tell you how April went for me:

Mileage:  I started running again!  Prior to this, my last run was on January 2nd.  I didn’t feel like running in the snow/cold weather, so I didn’t.  While it is Spring here, we still have our chilly days now, but at least it isn’t cold anymore.  This month I ran 15.77 and walked 5.27 miles.  It isn’t much, but I am slowly getting back to it.  

Run the Year 2025:  I signed up to run and walk 2,025 miles this year.  I don’t know how many miles I’ve completed and won’t check for a few months.  I know the number is really low.  I will check once I’ve been running and walking consistently. 

Current Book:  I finished reading “What the Fireflies Knew” and am currently reading “The School for Good Mothers”.  The latter book – WOW!  I am not a mother and the things I am reading in the book make me scratch my head.

Injuries:  None.  However, I was a little stiff when I started running again.  I am doing run/walk intervals. 

Races:  None.

Health:  For the most part I am feeling OK.  I’ve lost a couple of pounds, but still have a way to go.  

I had some blood work done through Inside Tracker.  I was worried about my HbA1c, but it came back normal.  Cholesterol levels (LDL, total cholesterol, triglycerides) are high, but they’re a little lower than from the last time I was tested in December.  Baby steps.

School:  It is the same song here.  I am counting down till the last day of school!  We have 18 days to go

What I am looking forward to next month:  The last day of school!

The topic for next week – Mother’s Day gift guide (mom, sister, friend, etc).  Feel free to write about this or any running-related topic.  We hope you’ll link up with us!
