It’s in the bag. May, that is. May 2017 is gone not to be revisited except in memories, and you know, in recaps like this one.

At the beginning of May, I set these intentions.

• Complete weeks 17 to 20 of the savings plan
• Read 10 books, including 4 Non Fiction, business titles
• Write creatively everyday
• Publish my next story collection 
• Read 3 books of the Bible
• Blog every day 
• Update my website

A week into May, I also started the weekday running challenge to run / run-walk for at least 1 mile 5 times per week. 

I didn’t do so great with my overall goals in May. My reading slowed down so I only finished 7 books last month – 3 Fiction and 4 Non Fiction (at least part of that goal was met). I did improve the time I’ve spending on writing but I still haven’t published my next collection. I’ve been reading the Bible more. I didn’t do anything to update my website except that I’ve been posting more frequently and blog every weekday. 

As it relates to running, I am proud that I took my monthly mileage from zero miles in April to 27 cumulative miles in May. That’s marathon distance. It took me an entire month to run it but I ran a marathon in May. haha. That’s funny to me.

Other numbers I kept track of during the month:

• Instagram – I finally broke 1500 followers
• YouTube – 414 lovely people subscribed to my bookish channel. Thank you!
• Twitter – fluctuates around 1160 readers
• Blog – 800+ subscribers

That being said, I am now focused on taking things to the next level in June.  Reaching these targets would make me very happy.

• Complete weeks 21 to 24 of the savings plan
• Read 10 books, including 4 Non Fiction, business titles
• Write creatively everyday
• Publish my next book
• Read 3 books of the Bible
• Blog every day 
• Continue the weekday running challenge and run 40 cumulative miles 
• Reach 500 YouTube subscribers 

How did you do with your May goals? What’s on your To-Do list for June?
