In May…

In May…

• I ran 31 miles. So far in 2012 I’ve run 175 miles, so I’m on track with my 366 mile goal for the year.  May was my lowest running mileage, but I was also going to the physical therapist for my right leg IT band soreness issues, so I think 31 miles is a victory.
• On top of running, I walked 6 miles.  That’s not very much compared to previous months, but all these are fit in during work breaks.
• I spent 9 hours and 29 minutes exercising.  My least number of hours in a month so far in 2012, by far.
• We cooked 17 meals at home.  This also led to leftovers for lunch, which is awesome. 
• I lost zero pounds. May I just wasn’t watching my carbs as much as I did in April.  Time to be more vigilant again.  
• We took 856 photos.
• Crafting took over my life and I didn’t read hardly at all.  Time to get cracking on some books again.
• Movies watched:  I think the only movie we saw in May was “The Avengers”, but oh it was a great one!
• I journaled online daily at Oh Life 31 times.  Haven’t missed a day this year.
• I journaled in my Moleskine daily planner 31 times.
• Went to the running specialist physical therapist 3 times.  Now I have an arsenal of exercises I can do at home to strengthen and improve my IT band. 
• I finished four more weeks of Project Life in my album.
• Todd conducted a seminar on Mental Flexibility, thus earning him the Advanced Communicator Gold title with Toastmasters International.
