In April…

• I ran 35 miles. So far in 2012 I’ve run 144 miles, so I’m on track with my 366 mile goal for the year.  The key is I make sure I get at least 7 miles in per week, no matter how much it’s spread out.  I try to run 3 days a week.
• On top of running, I walked 13 miles.  That’s pretty cool because the 13 miles consists of taking small 5 minute walking breaks at work, in between tasks!
• I spent 12 hours and 59 minutes exercising.  My least number of hours in a month so far in 2012.
• We cooked 21 meals at home!  Wow, that’s a record so far in 2012! 
• I lost two pounds. I’m quite certain eating healthy home-cooked meals had something to do with it.  Cutting back sugar and carbs also had something to do with it.  My first month after the epiphany has been successful!  
• We took 566 photos.
• I didn’t read as much as I would have liked.  I started “The Help” but haven’t made much progress.  I might have been too busy crafting!
• I started carving my own stamps.
• I used the sketch function on my Silhouette for the first time.  It totally rocks!
• Movies watched:  the last 1/3 of “Bridesmaids”, “Hugo”, and “The Descendants”. Loved “The Descendants”!
• I journaled online daily at Oh Life 30 times.  Haven’t missed a day this year.
• I journaled in my Moleskine daily planner 30 times.
• I went to a physical therapist that specializes in running.  He videotaped me running and evaluated my gait.  I have had sore IT band problems since October 2010.  He assigned me exercises to do to improve my coordination and strength. 
• I finished four more weeks of Project Life in my album.
• We had Russian-Georgian food for the first time ever.
• I visited Sally and her new twin babies.
• Todd made it to the Northern Division Toastmasters Speech Contest, but didn’t win this time.  He was awesome.  He was robbed!
• I finished our 2011 taxes and filed it. 
• We visited my dad and Shelly and checked out my dad’s revamped garden.  He sure has a green thumb!
• We saw Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band at Anthology.
• I dyed my hair, and got a haircut, not on the same day.
• I went on a Project Life journal card making frenzy.
• We sampled food from 26 restaurants at the Taste of Hillcrest.
• I started using Instagram a lot more than I had been.
• We took a day off and had breakfast at Crest Café, went to Buffalo Exchange, and generally had a lot of fun.
• I started crocheting a chevron afghan.
• I started drinking tea in the afternoons at work.
• I wondered how time can fly this fast in 2012.  :p
