The month switched over with some thunderstorms!! \u00a0May was a busy month as I spent the first few days in Spain, did a 100 mile bike ride<\/a>, and backpacked on the Superior Hiking Trail<\/a>. \u00a0I also did some work and hung out with my family!!<\/p>\n

The May 30 Day Challenge<\/a> was to read a poem a day. I’m not 100% sure that I actually read one poem a day, but I did read at least 30 poems. \u00a0I downloaded the \u00a0Poetry app<\/a> from the Poetry Foundation<\/a> which “turns your device into a mobile poetry library.” \u00a0It has a spinning feature that lets you pick a poem based on a random theme. \u00a0I did fairly good reading from it almost daily – \u00a0I wish it had a reminder system. \u00a0But upon the death of Maya Angelou<\/a> I decided to purchase a collection of her poems for my Kindle and read 10-15 of them. \u00a0This easily put me over 30 for the month.<\/p>\n

I didn’t do a really good job of recording all of my mileage and it was a little challenging to always remember which way I did my commute. \u00a0But my May stats are:<\/p>\n

Running – 20\u00a0miles<\/p>\n

Biking – 273 miles<\/p>\n

Both of these are quite a bit lower than April. \u00a0 The running one is particularly embarrassing! I want to keep my biking mileage up while also getting into the training plan for my August 2 half marathon. \u00a0 Training officially started last week, oops!<\/p>\n

June’s 30 Day Challenge is to blog every day. \u00a0This is going to be \u00a0a hard challenge as I’ve struggled to blog once a week! \u00a0There are a bunch of blogging prompts out there in the 30 day format, but no one seems perfect for me. \u00a0I think I’ll just pull a few from them and maybe I’ll answer a few of the Question of the Day’s that I use for kids at school.<\/p>\n

Additionally, I need to buckle down and do some core work. \u00a0I noticed it while backpacking. \u00a0I really need to hit it or I’m going to get hurt again. \u00a0So I’ll blog every day, try core every other day, and start following the training plan!<\/p>\n
