FABULOUS month.
Miles Planned/Actual: 117 /115
Pretty spot on. Several times I had planned for a 6-8 mile run and think they were 6 instead of 8. No big deal to me. Happy with the mileage. I know May will be much smaller.
Cross Training Planned/Actual: 8/7
I think I was off on a day because of Pilates. Again, okay with me.
Races Planned/Actual: 3/3
I ran the Auburn Finish on the 50 10k, The Oak Barrel 1/2 marathon, and the Big Sur Marathon. I only missed the 5k distance this month.
PR’s: 1 and an AG award!
New to Me Cross Training for the Month: 0
I failed. With the marathon taper-I knew I shouldn’t try anything new 2 weeks before the race. It was already that far into the month when I realized I needed a new activity. Planning on doing 2 new things in May instead.
Challenges Complete: 0/1
Another fail for me. I don’t know how I didn’t get it all in. I think, again, with the taper I was spending less time doing weights and just lost track. Oh well. This month the challenge is dips!
Current Aches/Pains: slight pain in my left calf but nothing too bad.
Current Book: Well, I finished the other 2 50 Shades of Grey books in April. Currently reading Heaven is For Real. But I need a new book soon. Suggestions?
Current Obsession: Hood to Coast. AfterNUUN Delight team. Planning out the rest of my race calendar. Sleeping in.
Current Drink: Kona Kola NUUN.
Current Song: Somebody that I used to Know by Gotye
Current Likes: No more marathon training, sleeping in a bit, vacations, keeping my job, HTC
Current Dislikes: the heat, the heat, the heat. Depleting my vacation fund. But it was well worth it.
Current Treat: Hmm. I am done with those. I ate and drank way too much on vacation and I am back to clean eating. No more sweets/fried food/etc. Clean. Clean. Clean. If I do have a treat it will be Pinkberry or Yoforia.
Current Excitement: Superhero 1/2 Marathon at the end of the month. Planning HTC trip.
I had a great month. A PR, a AG award, 3 trips, 1 vacation, 1 marathon, keeping my job, being chosen for the NUUN HTC team.
Plan for the Week:
Monday: Cross Train. Upper body weights.
Tuesday: 4-6 mile run
Wednesday: Possible personal training session, cross train
Thursdsay: 4-6 mile run
Friday: Pilates
Saturday: 8 mile run
Sunday: 3 mile run

How cool was it to finish on the 50? I hope they have it again next year.
You had a ridiculously dominant April!!! Awesome job! I have got to finally check out 50 shades of grey it sounds like. I just read the thirteenth tale and totally loved it. Way to go!
i'm glad i wasn't the only one who skipped out on the new to you challenge in april- just ran out of time / energy. Just starting up 2nd book in series.. and as you know from my fb photo… got to see the heathman in person today woo woo
Wow, busy April…you did great! I am currently reading quite a few books on my Kindle Fire but also an actual book called American Sniper…so far it is great! Have a great May! Blessings!
What an amazing April. Which super hero are you going to be?
