Juneathon Update!

Juneathon Update!

How's it going you ask? Fairly well I would say! I did manage to get work outs in before work 2 days this week, which is quite a feat in and of itself. 

I did drop the ball on Thursday though, not gonna lie. But, hey! There's grace right? Glad every day is a fresh start!

So let's see how I did on my Juneathon goals:

One: Run outside 3 days a week. Doesn't matter the distance: just do it. 

Successful! This week I ran outside exactly 3 days:

Saturday: 5.14 miles, 46 minutes, 9:01 pace
Sunday: 4 miles, 35 minutes, 8:44 pace
Friday: 1 mile, 7:41 minutes, 7:41 pace 

Two: Get in 2 days of strength training a week. 

Kiind of slacked on this goal. I did my Lower Body Blast class on Tuesday, which is about 40 minutes cardio and 20 minutes strength. But definitely aiming to get 2 full on strength classes in this week. 

Three: Run one 10 mile run during the course of the month. 

Not quite there yet. Next week my goal will be to get a 7 or 8 miler in, and increase from there!

Four: Run one under 8 minute mile. 

As you may have noticed above, this one I completed! Wooo hoo!!

Five: Run a 5K in 25 minutes.

Can't quite cross this one off either. 

So, definitely some room for improvement next week! I'm loving that this challenge is getting me back in the habit of not "am I going to work out today?" but "when am I going to work out today?"

But not gonna lie, this week also showed me that some days I'm just going to be too darn exhausted to get a work out in. 

And that's okay!

Happy Saturday, lovelies! I hope you enjoy your's!

Juneathon!

Hey everyone! Today is June 1st, which not only means my birthday is right around the corner, but also means it's time for Juneathon!

I learned about Juneathon from one of my favorite bloggers, Hanna. Finding her blog is seriously a huuuge part of why I got the motivation to start running. I'm fairly certain that I wouldn't have run a half marathon if it weren't for her, especially after seeing her come back from her own stress fracture!

So thank you, Hanna! You inspire me more than you know :)

Juneathon is a challenge to run or do some sort of exercise every day in June, and then blog about it! So expect little snippits of my Juneathon activity every day, and keep me accountable!

If you don't hear of any activity, you have my full permission to call me out in the comments section ;)

And since I'm doing this fun challenge, I thought it would be a good idea to set some goals for myself. So without further adieu: 

Juneathon Goals:

One: Run outside 3 days a week. Doesn't matter the distance: just do it. 

Two: Get in 2 days of strength training a week. 

Three: Run one 10 mile run during the course of the month. 

Four: Run one under 8 minute mile. 

Five: Run a 5K in 25 minutes. 

Totally doable, right? 

Kicked off day 1 with a 5 miler (the longest I've run since the half a few weeks ago, ha!).

Would you look at that June gloom?? Right on schedule, dangit. 

Happy Saturday! And if you're interested in joining us for Juneathon, dooo it! Sign up here.
