And oh, what a May it was! This month was absolutely jammed with all kinds of things, and for the most part, it was all quite wonderful. Although maybe a little exhausting. But that’s ok!
For this month’s trip to the runfessional, let’s join up with Marcia’s Healthy Slice…
Let’s Start By Runfessing…
That I can’t believe I have a high school graduate! It’s the most wild feeling. The day was really beautiful, and I know it hasn’t all hit yet but what a journey it has been. I’m so proud of this guy, and looking forward to the summer wiht him before he head off to school in August.
Next, I’ll Runfess…
That I am NOT enjoying the summer. And yes, it is absolutely summer here. Last year, it would be 74F tops at 5AM. This year? Almost 80. With suffocating humidity. No, thank you. It’s awful.
My Next Runfession Is…
I started paying attention to my protein this week. For real. I’m house sitting and since I have to bring all my food in, it seemed like a good opportunity to set myself up for success. Or something. I’m on day 5 and I’m hitting about 100g of protein a day. In addition, I’ve increased my water and reduced my sugar and diet soda intake pretty drastically. Against my better judgement, I’m tracking on My Fitness Pal, just to keep myself accountable. We will see how it goes.
I Runfess…
That I missed out on my favorite race of the year, the Florida Striders Memorial Day 5k. Not only is it for a wonderful cause, but it’s the first 5K I’ve ever run. If I’m in town, I do try to get to the start line, but this year, my Memorial Day Monday was absolutely slammed and the logistics were a nightmare. I’ll be back next year.
Finally, I Would Runfess…
That it’s time to start streaking! That’s right! June 1 starts the annual Streaking With The Cool Kids Challenge! It’s the one where you run, walk, or jog one intentional mile a day for 30 days. No making up for missed days. No do-overs. As of Friday morning, I’ve been streaking for 921 days, and I think I can get to 1000! Whoo hoo!
Do you have anything to runfess? Are you joining in the streak?

Big congrats to A! Soak up all the summer fun you can with him – I felt like that summer between high school and the start of college was crazy short.
I’m intrigued by the streaking for June. I’m not usually a streaker but have been thinking about doing another movement challenge – so why not, right? Is there an official sign-up or do you just hold yourself accountable?
Tracking your protein can be so helpful and really eye opening. High school graduation is a milestone for all you for sure. Just wait until college drop off!
