June is here already? Wow! \u00a0May has been a crazy month!! I wouldn’t ever choose to have a major life transition, like buying and selling a house at the end of the school year again! \u00a0In May we traveled to Ohio for my brother’s graduation, then I flew back (almost getting stuck at the airport) to MN so I could finish packing the house while the family stayed in Indiana. \u00a0Then on the 15th we sold our house and drove directly to close on purchasing our house. Then we drove to our new home and started unloading!! Within 10 days we had all the boxes into our house and hosted a Memorial Day\/Housewarming\/House 100 Year Old Party!! Not to mention the super stress of the end of the school year! Then end of the month mellowed a little bit as we slowly start settling in. \u00a0We didn’t have to do anything major to our new house, but we’ve gotten stuck on some of the littler things and finding the time to plan and complete them!<\/p>\n

One amazing benefit of our new house is the proximity to Theodore Wirth Park and its mixture of single track, wide trails, and pavement. \u00a0I’ve already done a handful of runs and have really enjoyed it. \u00a0One night I took the kids for a run and stopped at the playground at Wirth Beach for awhile before running home! \u00a0Now I just need to figure out distances and loops that I can run from my house! I’ve already got a 5k and 5 mile so that is a good start! Not to mention being able to both bike and drive along the gorgeous Wirth and Memorial Parkways!<\/p>\n

I did a lot of box and furniture lifting in May! Some of it felt intense, but not quite WOD intensity! There is no easy way to quantify all the moving. \u00a0On two of our biggest moving days I did Crossfit in the morning and box loading in the evening. \u00a0The next day it was hard to say what made me sore!!<\/p>\n

The stats are currently in a bit of a mess as I haven’t been updating them consistently with all of the transitions! I love using Running Ahead<\/a>, but there isn’t a good mobile app for it yet. \u00a0I also know that May wasn’t a great month for reaching my goals. \u00a0I should have realized that at the beginning of the month and modified them.<\/p>\n

My\u00a0May Goal<\/strong> was to do Yoga every day. \u00a0I only did yoga 13 days in the month. \u00a0The days I actually did a full routine actually felt really good! I need more yoga in my life! \u00a0I did do better on mobility completing 27 days, this often just one or two simple things and again not a full mobility routine that my body would benefit from!<\/p>\n

Sometime at the end of April I started an 8 week Wellness Challenge for work and I’ve been completing my daily check-ins. \u00a0They are walk 10,000 steps, reduce stress, and sleep 8 hours. \u00a0I’ve been getting the steps in pretty consistently (based on my Galaxy S6 data) but obviously not so much on the stress end of things or with the sleep. \u00a0I think I’ve hit 8 hours once in the 5 weeks, but I usually wake up on my own before my alarm even goes off which makes me think that it is ok.<\/p>\n

Crossfit –\u00a0<\/strong>I was able to go 5 of the 13 times I would normally attend. \u00a0This works out to be every time that I could go based on our schedules. \u00a0Christy worked a week of weekdays so we could travel home and then flying and closing messed up a couple of more times. \u00a0I need to get better at doing some type of body weight WOD at home.<\/p>\n

Running – <\/strong>29.1\u00a0 miles – I’ve been running fairly consistently on Saturday mornings with the Team World Vision crew. \u00a0This is the bulk of my mileage. Last week’s run had to be aborted due to a flat tire! With summer coming and living near Wirth I’m hoping to increase my mileage!<\/p>\n

Biking\u00a0<\/b>– 31.9 miles – What a drastic change from last month! With the moving and weird schedules I had to do more daycare drop-off than normal so that cut into some of my bike commuting. \u00a0My new commute isn’t actually too much shorter, but overall a more scenic ride – no more semis and downtown traffic! The entire ride is still almost exclusively on bike infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Dating –<\/strong> I don’t recall going on any kid-less dates this month. \u00a0Oops! \u00a0Does going to closing count as a date? Maybe the most expensive date ever!!<\/p>\n

June will be a less stressful month as I’ll be winding down with work. \u00a0I’m actually going to a lot of training in June, which won’t be ideal. \u00a0However sitting in a training is probably less-stressful than regular work. \u00a0We shall see. \u00a0My June goals are to watch a TED talk and do push-ups every day. I’ll probably just end up watching 30 TED talks catching a few on the weekends and I’m going to say at least 10 push-ups is the minimum that will count.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
