A busy June '13 update

June. Whew! What a month! Crazy busy. SO much took place, yet to others on the outside, it may seem like nothing eventful took place. To me though, June was fun AND BUSY!

June:

Josiah turned 10 months old! He also learned to wave, give "low fives," sprouted a few tooth buds and learned how to feed himself....kind of.

We also worked on our house a bit, started harvesting from the garden, went to theater in the park, visited Diana Rose Farmstead, celebrated our 8th anniversary, I got strep throat, saw Huey Lewis and the news in concert and I helped out with VBS.

I told you it was busy!

The end of a month also means it time for a goals update. I do this for myself for reflection on how the month went, accountability to keep me pushing towards my goals and to help stay focused. So.....here we go!


#1) Running Frequency (85% of all days)

May was awesome. The previous 2 months, not so much :(

I ran 24 out of 30 days in June. I was doing well, and then strep throat hit. Blah! I didn't help my running percentage much as I only ran 80% of the available days that June had to offer. That brings my 2013 total up to 

I did get in 145 miles though. Again, that was an increase over the previous month so I can't complain about that


#2) Goal Weight

Down another 1.5 pounds for the month. Still right on track. I only have 5 pounds to go!
#3) 20:00 5k

I still have a ways to go here, but this week I should find out exactly how close I am. I'm hoping to break 21:00, but as long as I'm low 21's I won't be disappointed yet. It's a work in progress for sure!


#4) Grad Class

 I am continuing to save money for this though so it might sill happen. Life happens a bit too fast for me though sometimes and some things have to be sacrificed. It could still happen before the year is up though

#5) Finish the guest room (pictures forth coming)
 Officially done! Just have to move the furniture back in :)
#6) Reading 3000 pages this year

326 pages read this month. It's slow going, especially when I'm not reading Clifford the Big Red Dog anymore. I'm up to 1030 pages for the year. Still, I'm not on pace yet, but getting closer each day to getting back to the pace I need to be on. Maybe I'll do an easy read for a change (no, still no Clifford) 

#7) Clean the Basement

Done!
#8) Trombone Practicing

Nope

#9) Athletes at State

Trying to help motivate my XC runners via Face Book. Hopefully it's working a bit. State athletes are developed during the off season for sure! 

#10) Family Time

Playing in the park! Again, going to see Huey Lewis and the News and visiting Deanna Rose Farmstead. Laying on the floor for impromptu tickle fights, running early in the morning to free up more time during the day. Evenings watching classic t.v. shows on Sunday nights, cookouts, etc.
