It seems as though I am not the only one having a crazy month of May! This week had me running around like a crazy person again. Between getting ready for our graduation party, dealing with car issues and getting ready for out of town guests, I am just trying to stay afloat. May Day! If only I could clone myself.
Weekly Wrap May Day!
Sunday- Girls on the run 5K race + 10 mile bike ride
Always a fabulous time watching all the girls complete the race. A huge thanks to my coaching staff of 10 amazing women who donated their time and efforts to help coach our team.
Monday- 30 minutes elliptical + 60 min strength training + 10 mile bike ride
Normally I don’t bike 2 days in a row but the weather looked iffy so wanted to get one more in there.
Tuesday- 4 mile run with my crew
All the recent rain has left the rivers just rushing with water. We thought it would be fun to venture out onto the rocks for mid run photo.
Wednesday- 90 min strength training and kickboxing
I kept telling my trainer I needed a harder workout so…these wall sits got a little tougher holding a medicine ball behind my back while doing press ups. Be careful what you ask for right?!
Thursday 4 mile run
My legs were totally shot by today and had to walk a bit. We also had the return of the heat and humidity yep not a great combo. Our community service project for Girls on The Run was doing a collection drive for “BRAWS”. BRAWS is a fantastic (new to me) organization that collects and distributes feminine hygiene products and undergarments for women and teens in shelters and low income schools. We were over whelmed with the generosity of our team. I kind of fell in love with the cause and hope to do some work with them.
Oh and then I found out that I had 2 nails in my tire. So I had to bring in my car, leave it there, get a new tire, go back and pick it up during rush hours. Yep May Day!
Friday- rest day
woke up exhausted and just needed to do stuff around the house.
Saturday- sprint tri race
Decided to jump into this race last minute. Boy it was super toasty out. More to come later this week on the tri race.
Sunday- attending a wedding all day
Yup it’s been a super busy and crazy week again. I sure do wish I could clone myself. This week starts all the graduation madness and prep for our son’s grad party next weekend. May Day!! Send help 🙂
And That’s a Wrap! Joining in with Hoho and Wendy for all the Weekly Wrap fun.
It seems like May has been so busy for everyone! I am hoping June is a little calmer. Congrats on your last minute sprint tri!
Thanks it was fun to do yesterday but wow was it hot
Love the GOTR has a community service project each season. Such a great way to teach them about the importance of volunteering and helping others.
I can’t believe you did a triathlon on a whim – you’re amazing!
Hope you’re enjoying your holiday weekend.
The service project this year was the best one we have ever done. I loved all of the positive response we got. Yep jumped into a tri. I am glad I did it but it was hot hot hot
Wow you have so much going on! I hope you enjoy the wedding today! I am spending the day mulching, planting and making everyones properties look amazing for there BBQ’s tomorrow. Meanwhile my lawn is a disaster. lol
WE had a huge storm the other day and all of the mulch the landscapers put in came flooding into our pool! Quite the mess over here.Landscaping is hard work!
Wow, you have been super busy! Congrats to a great GOTR season! Can’t wait to hear more about your last-minute tri. See you next week for our coffee date too!
Yes the coffee date next week! The tri was fun but wow it was so hot!
I’ve never heard of BRAWS. It sounds like a very worthy cause! Look at you jumping into a Sprint Tri. Very Impressive. I had a car that picked up nails more than any other I’ve ever driven. I know that sounds ridiculous, but it was so frustrating! Good luck as you complete your MAYDAY festivities. We’re finished will all of the graduation events now. Whew. Thanks for linking!
It’s been a crazy week for sure! Just need to get through the next 2 and then we are off on vacation to Italy 🙂
I’m hoping things calm down now too. I know I was busy this spring, and had a race to train for, but running is my way to deal with the stress. Now that I’ve had my race, I have more time right now to just relax.
running and working out are for sure my stress relievers! Don’t know how I would make it through without them
I feel you on Mayday and Mayhem….it’s been a crazy month! We had graduation today and dinner. Now my feet are up and ahhhh…..let the madness end.
congratulations! It’s all so exhausting and emotional isn’t it?!
That does sound like a great charity.
Hope things run smoothly for you this week. Enjoy the graduation festivities. That’s always exciting!
great charity indeed! thanks I am really excited about all of our celebrations
What a great and busy week! Love the GOTR community event, what a wonderful foundation.
So impressed that you dropped into a sprint tri just for fun! 🙂
well I figured why not!?
Ha ha, I have to laugh at your MAYDAY distress call LOL I also was calling out MAYDAY for Rnfessions because I was in major “sink or swim” mode (mainly sinking). I’m glad all of my obligations are over & done…hoping all goes well for you this week 😉
Thanks! It’s crazy how all of the sudden everything is all at once! It’s all good stuff just a lot. Glad you made it through
I’m amazed that you just decided to jump into a tri at the end of that busy week!
Ha seriously what was I thinking!?
Wow! You sound super busy, I love the idea behind BRAWS. I should see if we have something like that in our area. Hope you had fun at the wedding.
It’s a great charity and I am so glad that I found out about it
Yes this month is just nutty! Looking forward to hearing about your tri!
It sure is!
I don’t know how you do it all. I feel like I’ve been running around a lot, but no guests, no graduations . . .
Can’t wait to hear about that tri!
Lately I don’t know how I do it either! I am a little burnt out
Wow, you sure did have a busy week! Hope it’s calmed down a little.
Well….graduation mayhem has begun! Exercise is my sanity
