A Time for Reflection

As the school year and the month of May end, I'm reflecting on some things---mostly running related ;-)

I am leaving this school year with 20 years of experience under my belt.  This school year has provided me with knowledge that I will definitely take with me into the fall.  My lessons in running often help me with my work as a teacher, too.  I learn that not every day can be a great day but I show up again and again.  I'll be back in the fall with new excitement and energy the same way that I return each morning for my runs.  With the school year over and wrapped up neatly, my attention will turn to my family, my personal goals, and my running adventures.

So far in my quest to run 2018 miles in 2018 I am not quite where I should be....


I am over 600 miles and I'm averaging about 125 miles per month.  I am hoping that I can boost miles over the summer.  Goal for June --200 miles.

My favorite run happened near the end of May (May 30).  It was a HER Madison training run.  If you are interested in a June race, register for HER and use coupon code MARGARET for a discount.  Have you seen all the great things that are planned for the weekend experience?  Check it out HERE



It was a hope of mine that I could run a sub 2 half at the HER event.  It's going to take some serious work on my miles and my food plan to make it happen but I am putting it out there and pushing for it.



I've finished up my work at school and closed out the 2017-2018 school year.  Great things will be happening in the fall including a grade change for me.  I'm moving up to 5th grade....  In the meantime when you have a few minutes (or 42), please watch my little video memory book from the year:



And now let the streaking begin!  I'm joining up with Pink Cupcake Girl for a month of streaking.  #streakingwiththecoolkids
