May Recap and June Goals

Hi everyone!

I cannot believe that May went by so fast! I started off the month with finals and now I'm ending it with a new job and projects for my internship.

Let talk training...
So I officially ran 1 mile more than April (hey it's a start right?) so that is pretty cool. Rounding out the total to 63 miles this month!

Looking back at my May Goals: 

1. Keep with my running! (Try to do 3-4 miles at least 2x a week with a long run on Saturday/Sunday)

    Ultimate goal: Run 10 miles by 5/31! -Kept up with the normal runs, but unfortunately did not hit 10 miles yet 

2. Lift more, have specific lifting days with minimal cardio -CHECK!

3. Clean eating, but no obsessing/calorie counting. 6 servings of fruits/veggies a day+good clean protein 

    +lots of froyo! Fairly accurate! Many treats this month, but trying better next month for sure

4. Read more! School is over on May 9th, so working/interning/reading/running all summer! -still working on my first book, but it is so good! 

Now on to June Goals

1. A 10 Miler is still on my mind! Working hard to accomplish it! Run more miles than May! (70 miles=goal)

2. Keep eating fruits/veggies! It is finally Peach season people :)

3. DRINK MORE WATER-3 bottles a day minimum! 

4. READ READ READ

So these goals seem pretty similar to May, but hey, I think they are pretty good!

What are your goals?

Summer Plans and such

After 3 beautiful weeks without rain...it is looking pretty gloomy and there is a 70% chance of rain.

Notice the glare from me taking the picture 

So to keep with the theme of my running blog, here is a mid week update:
After 4 days of running in a row, my body needs some rest! My calf started hurting after a mile yesterday, so I think that it is a sign to listen to my body!

But now the focus on Summer Plans and such happenings!
So summer starts tomorrow which means no more exams, group projects, homework, etc for 4 whole months! Yay and after this semester a long break is necessary. So this summer I will be balancing working at the basket (trying to find another job, but you know how that goes) and interning with ENERGYBits! Along with this, I have Cape Cod over the 4th of July and a Cruise mid-July with my mom's side of the family. So a lot of good stuff coming up in the next few months.

Other Plans: running a lot, reading a lot, and cooking/eating a lot

Books I plan on reading: 



(all of these pictures are from amazon.com)

So...I'm basically a sucker for food related books and books written by Chelsea Handler. These ones are by her friends so I'm figuring they are just as funny. There are other books I also want to read, but can't think of them at the moment.

What are your summer plans?
