My friend Todd just wrote about making July a month of healthy choices.
He’s focusing on gratitude, fitness, and wellness. I like that. I’m going to keep up with my daily habit tracker, but I’m going to add two things to my daily list, gratitude and reading.
Today, for example, I’m grateful for excellent international conferences, vacations in exciting places (Rome and Iceland), and for being at home with my mum and Cheddar the dog and sleeping in my own bed.
I want to add in some riding goals too, besides every day riding. I need to get back to longer distances and more time on the bike. I miss it!
But also since it’s now July, a quick June summary is due. It’s not all good.
I failed at not shopping! What happened? A new bathing suit happened. A smart wool bra happened. And then there was the stuff that arrived on back order. Try again in July? On it.
I’m behind with my riding goals, 863.5 km so far this year. Some years I manage 5000 km. Some years it’s 3000 km. This year I might need to scale down to 2000 km.
We did have a fun weekend riding bikes and camping in Awenda Provincial Park. We rode our bikes to the beach in the park and then for a ways on the Tiny Rail Trail which starts close to the park. What a great park. We’ll definitely go back.
I only finished one book in June and reviewed it here. There are six others in progress though.
I did go to my first international conference since the pandemic and walk lots and lots in Rome. See here and here. That felt big and important. I loved it!
I’m at workout number 217 for 2024. My last workout in June was in Iceland.
We missed Pride but a rainbow followed us around the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. 🌈
Also, Yay! We hiked to a hot stream in Iceland and my knees made it! That’s June in a wrap.
