It’s the first week of June – is it feeling like summer yet where you live? I’m not ready!
It’s time for one of my favorite posts – looking back at my running goals for the previous month and creating new goals for the next month! It really does help me to stay motivated and on top of my game. Since I had my long running break in May, how can I get things rolling in June?
I’m linking up with Marcia, Patty, and Erika for Tuesdays on the Run, Debbie, Lora, and Rachel for the Running Coaches Corner and Annmarie and Nicole for Wild Workout Wednesday! I’m also joining Running on Happy and Fairytales and Fitness for the Friday 5 2.0!
May Running Goals Recap
May was QUITE an unusual running month for me. After having two months of 100+ miles of running, I probably only got in about 8 miles in the entire month! I really needed a break after working so hard for so many months, plus the rainy weather wasn’t encouraging me to get out there. Now if I was training, you know I’ll run in any weather! But anyway, here’s how I did on my goals for May:
- Focus on marathon recovery and self-care. Grade: B. My marathon recovery was definitely an A – I did no workouts for a whole week (actually a little longer) and scheduled an 80-minute deep tissue massage. But I probably could have done more on the end of self-care. I just felt like I was really lazy, haha!
- Get back to barre and yoga class. Grade: B+. I was able to make my way back to barre and yoga class 1-2 times a week, so that was great. I definitely plan on keeping it going in June. I missed a lot of yoga classes because of work meetings, but I’m looking forward to things calming down.
- Continue cooking healthy meals with Hello Fresh. Grade: A. Hello Fresh continues to work well for us. We did skip a few weeks because we got a bit backlogged, but otherwise I’m still a huge fan. It has reminded me that I do enjoy cooking! Don’t forget, if you’d like to save $40 on your first box, you can use my referral link! Better yet, if you are interested in trying it out for FREE, the first four people send me an email at janelle@runwithnoregrets.com will get hooked up!
June Running Goals
- Complete the Strong Arms and Abs Challenge. I’m excited to FINALLY get to participate in one of Rachel’s monthly fitness challenges. I can’t wait to see how it goes, as I really need some discipline in my life! Are you doing it too?
- Begin treatment plan for plantar fasciitis. It’s time to make the appointments and get my recovery on track! I don’t want to create mileage goals until I feel safe enough to get back to running. So I’m going to make an appointment with the primary care doc and do what I gotta do. If I have to schedule some sick time to get an appointment during the week, so be it. No excuses!
- Balance Hello Fresh meals with the summer farm share. It’s June, meaning that it’s time for another year of farm share! Since Hello Fresh has been going so well, we want to balance using both. This year they’re offering a smaller portion of the fruit and vegetable share, so I signed up for that in addition to the bread share. I’m looking forward to the challenge!
How did you do in the month of May? What are your running goals for June?
I’ll be interested to see how balancing Hello Fresh with the farm share works for you! Our farm share doesn’t have a smaller option, and I can already barely keep up with how much produce we’re getting.
I just got my first crop of veggies today! Thankfully I didn’t order Hello Fresh this week so I’m hoping I can really balance things out!
Sounds like you did pretty well with the goals! We’ve been using Blue Apron here and there and I agree it definitely makes me remember I enjoy cooking 🙂 We’re out of town a lot in June so it’s all on hold for this month but hopefully we can strike a balance between that and our Hungry Harvest box for the rest of the Summer.
Thanks, Chaitali – I definitely should have done more self-care but overall I can’t complain. Hello Fresh has really helped with my stress when I get home from work. I’ve had to pause a couple of weeks lately but will probably start up again by the end of the month. I just don’t want to waste any food!
Good luck with your PF. I’m holding off on running until I see my chiropractor in a couple weeks.
Thanks, Lesley. Enjoy your rest!
Goals? I’m supposed to have goals, LOL? Well, I’ve been getting back to the prehab exercises. I’m hoping to go swimming finally tomorrow (yes, I know it’s global running day but it’s also my rest day this week). I need to get back to a bit more yoga, myself.
Sounds like you’re doing well. Before you know it, that wedding will be here! So it’s a good time for a little down time.
I’m doing Rachel’s challenge, too! I kind of took May off (in terms of her challenges), but I had done all the other ones for 2018 so far, so my guilt wasn’t too terrible.
I hope you can get your PF taken care of quickly! It can be such a process to make doctors appointments and get in to see a specialist.
I hope you’re able to get that PF to calm down. May was MAYhem around here with school ending. Other than weightloss, I don’t think I had any goals. Now I need to build up some mileage for RnRCHI.
Great goals, as always! I hope you get that PF under control!
Thanks a lot, Nicole! 🙂
sounds like you are doing great! My farm share started last month, and it is so nice having fresh vegetables on hand.
Thanks, Wendy! It’ll be fun working with the veggies again…I love supporting the local farms. That’s probably the main downside of using Hello Fresh.
