Wow, April came in with a blast here in Minnesota. And not an arctic one! No joke, April started with an 84 degree day followed by thunderstorms. But lets look back at March. The last few weeks have all kind of been a blur though the last week welcomed Spring Break and a nice change of pace.<\/p>\n
The goals for March were: Ride the Bike Outside<\/strong> – pretty self-explanatory. \u00a0I did manage to get outside 3 times on my bike this month. I think twice to the gym and once to work. \u00a0The warmer than normal spring sure helped with that! \u00a0I did some other riding on my trainer and at spin class so I’ve been doing some riding, but not enough for the Dickie’s Scramble.<\/p>\n Here are some statistics from this month:<\/p>\n Running – 27.4 miles! My largest month since like November!<\/p>\n Biking – 45 miles (spin classes were estimated guesses)<\/p>\n Crossfit – I went 9 times!!<\/p>\n Mobility – 24 times<\/p>\n We only went on 1 kid-less date again and it was with friends to see Selma (powerful movie). \u00a0Since it was the end of the quarter I needed to be at tab and inbox zero. \u00a0I made great progress but didn’t succeed! I got some help by having computer problems that essentially lost a zillion tabs I had open, but I still couldn’t get it done. \u00a0So at the end of next quarter all the e-mails from this past quarter need to be gone.<\/p>\n I only have\u00a0one goal<\/strong> for April – 30 Days of Biking!! #30daysofbiking \u00a0I did decide that I’m going to try and wear some type of bike apparel every day for the month and Instagram it too!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n How was your March?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wow, April came in with a blast here in Minnesota.

\nDeclutter<\/strong> – what can be thrown away, given away, or put away somewhere else. An item a day or 31 items.<\/em> This was quite successful.\u00a0I’ve thrown out or boxed up for Goodwill more than 31 items. This started mostly as clothing items but then I started cleaning up other areas. \u00a0Let’s just say that the trash can and recycling bin were full and we made a trip to Goodwill.<\/p>\n
