I ran one race in May ~ the Red Bird Run 5K~ where I placed FIRST in my age group. Run Club was hit-or-miss. Bill and I were the only ones to make the promised Dairy Queen run last Tuesday. I couldn't talk him into running the long way there (didn't try real hard), so we ran maybe a mile and I ate a oreo & banana blizzard on the mile walk back. (I was wearing a very sassy running skirt).
I'm hoping run club continues throughout the summer. Cheryl and I have discussed it; we'll see what works out.
Running itself was good this month. A little twinge in the ankle...and the IT band started to act up, but that ROLLER is AMAZING. I should use it more to prevent...but it still rather makes me want to say, "@&*!", so I put it off until I have to use it.
May's totals:
69 miles for the month
356.5 miles for the year
0 biking miles for the month
52 biking miles for the year
183 miles in my red & blue Asics so it's ok that they don't look shiny & new anymore
and 1 mile swimming for the year...
Some interesting facts:
Longest run this month: 7.5 miles
Favorite place to run this month: have to be the DQ run club run. How do you not love a short run with ice cream @ the end?# of bags of Candy Cane Kisses left in my cabinet: 1 (which means I didn't eat any in May...I think I'm holding on because once I open them I have to wait 'til December for more.)
# of boxes of Girl Scout cookies left in the cabinet: 1&1/2 AND I didn't eat any of those this month either...time for those to go, they'll just go bad.
# of books I read this month: a pitiful 1 (I CAN NOT stay away for more than 2 pages...and it's not a bad book!)
Biggest YMCA pet peeve this month: As the weather is BEAUTIFUL, I have only been to the Y to pick up our GOLD Ironman t's...so I'm quite happy with the Y (maybe I should be peeved that I continue to spend $70 a month for something I don't use)
