May Recap

Monthly recap, May Edition!


Miles ran: 75.0 (lowest since January, which was expected given the taper and post-race rest)
Rest days: 19 (yikes!)
Highest mileage week: 33.5 (the week of the race)
Long runs: 2
Pace workouts: 1
XT days:  1, but does painting my kitchen count? Because I did that over the weekend. 
Tempo or interval runs: I did one hill interval workout pre-race
Favorite run: it was only part of the day's run, but probably the March of Dimes 5k. New PR, a good cause, and an award!  (edited after I realized the 5k was actually in April.) The 6.3 miles I ran last weekend where I found my pace. 
Current goal: set up my next training plan while everything is still fresh, and maintain a 20 mile/week base until I start training again.  
Current obsession: waiting for our new sofas to arrive! I've purchased accessory decor items, painted the adjoining kitchen, and can't stop trying to envision the finished room! At the 1-year mark in this house (late June), I want to feel like at least the downstairs is pulled together and really feels finished. Have I mentioned that I LOVE decorating?!?
Current need: A bunch of organizational bins for when I attack the upstairs! I'm going to go all Monica on our storage space. Oh, and I need a freaking haircut. STAT.
Current excitement: Some exciting things going on at work, mostly. NERD ALERT.  
Current bane of my existence:  Nothing even worth mentioning. Life is good!
Current wish list: Some new mp3s. I really don't have an excuse, I just need to do it. 
Current indulgence: The 4 pairs of shoes I purchased recently. What?! I said I needed new shoes last month!
