Notes:
- Ha. I rode more miles this week than I did in the entire month of April. Oops? I was able to ride outside with a group on Friday, which was a treat, and also a reminder that I need to get outside more! And lose weight so I can ride faster. Ha. But really.
- I am mostly over my cold! Yay! There is a lingering cough, but I am off medicine and only had to take one sick day this week. Progress.
- The Wisconsin Half Marathon went really well. I even ran a faster second half! (The wind may have helped a bit.) Race report coming soon.
- We’re starting to hit the time of year where I will be teaching weekend classes less and less because everyone’s calendars get so full and no one can make class. It’s a bummer, but my calendar also gets full as well. That yard work isn’t going to do itself, unfortunately!
- I accidentally got a sunburn during my run and walk on Sunday. I’ve been keeping my sunscreen out on the bathroom counter at home so I remember to put it on. Now it seems like it’s time to put some in an obvious spot in my purse for when I am out and about.

How did you get sunburnt and I didn’t?! I’m like a magnet for that! Anyway, it was nice to run and walk with you! Hope we can do it again soon 😀
I don’t know! The burn on my back is so red!
It was nice! I hope we can soon too!
Yes to the sun screen. I’m having to bring mine everywhere. Congrats on the half (espec with a cold)!
I am going to now! Thank you!!!!
