MAYhem is underway – this always feels like the month with “all the things”. Despite the busyness, May is one of my favorite months because it finally feels like Spring around here. Weather-wise the week started cold and dreary, but by Friday Ma Nature finally flipped the switch and the weekend has been gloriously sunny and warm…note to self, I need to acclimate!
I’m linking up with Deborah and Kim for the Weekly Run Down – here’s how the first week of May played out.
Well Hello May
Monday — 2-mile walk, Upper Body Strength & Core. Started Oliva’s Core Challenge – a 5-week challenge of a mix of 5 10 or 15 min classes
Tuesday — Peloton Bike & Core
Wednesday — 3-mile run & Core
Thursday — Lower Body Strength & Core – Lots of focus on glutes and glute activation.
Friday — 3-mile run. With the promise of finally seeing the sun in the afternoon, I held off on a morning run and was rewarded with a nice spring afternoon. The route I picked was especially hilly and I was happy with how my legs responded despite the previous day’s legwork.
Saturday — 1-mile walk & Upper Body Strength
Sunday — 7-mile run & Core. It was a beautiful morning and warmer than I was ready for. I’m not complaining just noting that I need to get acclimated!
All-in-all, not a bad week, and just two weeks to go until my first race of 2023! Hopefully, the weekend’s weather sticks around for a bit.
How was your first week of the month? Does it feel like Spring where you are?
I was already complaining about the heat today too. We headed out a lot later than I like for this time of the year. May is also my favorite month to run here. I am enjoying the core challenge thanks for suggesting it
Yep, it’s a busy month! But it sounds like it started off really well for you. I like that core challenge- it would be a good way for me to REMEMBER to do my core every day. I hope your beautiful weather continues!
This weekend actually felt like summer, but I’m hoping that means spring is here for good and winter is OVER. Nice week for you! I’m really like Olivia’s core challenge!
Good job on getting your run in Friday afternoon. Those after work runs are hard to pull off!
After a very rainy first half of the week, we had a really nice last half which was especially nice since we were traveling.

It was really warm today! I’m not complaining, but I need to get used to it. Excited for you to run your race in 2 weeks!
Nice on your 7 mile run!
I think it was in the 60s when I ran on Saturday and I was already telling myself I need to get out earlier next weekend.
Olivia’s 15 min core was not an easy one!
This is one of the nicest Springs we’ve had in year (despite both Winter like and Summer like weather, LOL)!
Sounds like you are ready for your race.
ALL THE THINGS!
Nice job this week.
I think we are pretty much in summer right now. Ick.
Looks like an overall good week!
We’re supposed to have really nice weather this week so I plan on going out and enjoying it before it gets too hot lol
I’m so glad you share the core challenge, I’m enjoying it! I might have to repeat it. Her older classes are quite good!
excellent week Michelle! I do know how it feels to have to work your runs into a different time slot than we are used to, but we rise to the occasion and make it the best that we can. hope your weather is still being kind to you!
