May was my lightest mileage month so far this year.

Total miles: 34.42

Fun places I ran: Greg and I did one stroller run this month in Sarasota. We ran alongside the beach so the views were great! The stroller was heavy! Kenley will likely start riding her bike with us during our family runs. I also ran with the girls at UCF which was a nice change of pace from our normal neighborhood routes.

Races I ran: None!

Favorite running thing this month: I snagged a new pair of running sunglasses this month in preparation for summer running. I went with goodr Sunbathing with Wizards but already have my eye on a couple other colors. I really like them so far!

Non-running workouts: Since I didn’t run as much this month, I did a lot more non-running workouts. I finally got back to piyo! It felt so good to do it again. I also did strength training a couple times this month, as well as many workouts on the elliptical. I went to the Y a lot more this month since it gives me an extra 30 minutes of sleep in the morning.

Next month: Marathon training officially begins! I am excited to be back on a training schedule. I am excited to start training for the Chicago Marathon, but I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a little bit nervous. It’s getting real. I will also be continuing my fundraising endeavors next month. I’m over halfway to my goal of $1,000 and am completely blown away by the generosity of those who have already donated. THANK YOU!

Happy running!
