Magical May

It was with some horror that I realised today is the 4th June! Oh my - how quickly this year is passing me by.

Did you miss my previous monthly recaps? Check them out here:

To be honest, however, May really was a busy month in our household, so I am not that surprised that it disappeared quickly.

Starting with a half marathon and a race PR!

And lots of Mystery Box ingredients including cornmeal, cauliflower, leek, potato flour, carrots and peas.

A house move and finishing with a muddy bike race

And in fitness news - I ran 76.1km and biked 72km. Not a bad effort given that I missed a fair few sessions  due to moving house (and all the usual drama that goes with it!).

Overall this was a fantastic month - filled with family, fun and fresh ingredients. Given the cool weather has arrived I have no more races for a few months, so it will be nice to get back to exercise for "fun" rather than exercise for "training".

Here's to a Joyful June!

What about you? Was your May magical?

Happy Baking :)

  2. Great recap Lisa! It looks like you had a great month. Well done on all your racing, and I'm so enjoying all your recipes - the african vegetable stew was really, really good! You've really inspired me to kickstart my summer racing plan. Here's to a joyful June, for sure! :)

  4. You mean some serious business in that first photo at the race :)

    May was crazy, insane and magical for me! With convocation, a birthday and the beginning of a training program, time flew by!

    Lets see what June will bring!
