Weekly Goals




weekly chase, goals, setting goals
How did I do last week?

Goal #1 Boot Camp goal for the week is to eat more leafy greens (at least 2 servings daily). I am on a salad kick right now so thins shouldn't be too hard. I did fine but worse then then at home when I ate salad lunch daily.

Goal #2 Plan meals and snacks, this will be important as I return to work this week. I don't want to get in the quick food habit again. Meals good, snacks need work!

Goal #3 Plan my workouts and stick with them: Speedwork and Hill run, boot camp and strength. Got them all in, with a little switching of days!
Goal #4 Spend at least 30 min each day focusing on what my daughter wants to do. Not so great, we made it to the park a couple times, read books and colored but I need to be better on days I have a lot I need to get done.

Now for this week...

Goal #1 Plan and stick with workouts and other work/school tasks...Time for daily to do lists.
  • Mon: Strength
  • Tues: AM Boot Camp PM: Run
  • Wed: AM Speed Run PM: ?? Bike or swim or rest
  • Thurs: AM Boot Camp PM: Strength
  • Fri: AM: Bike PM: Run
  • Sat: AM Run (Half Marathon) PM: Strength
  • Sun: AM: Run (easy)

    • Goal #2 Only snack when I am hungry and stick with healthy choices; as always what is your favorite to go snack?

    Goal #3 Finally have a good race at the Half- A: 1:40 B: 1:37 C: 1:35 Besides the time goal I want to finish feeling like I gave it my all.

        Having the healthy options is key. I am trying to keep plenty of fruits and veggies on hand.

      Looks like you've got an awesome plan in place for tackling this week's goals! Great job with last week and I hope this one goes equally as well! I'm with you on the snacking goal... I'm a teacher and starting back to school has made me want to snack nonstop!

    GoMacro Thrive Review and Giveaway!

    All runners know that post marathon week(s) are filled with the fight to keep eating healthy yet indulge a little. I try to carry healthy snacks wherever I go to avoid the munchies. Needing gluten free makes finding healthy foods quick even tougher. I have my go to foods but love finding new options with such variety. I think my only complaint is the carb to protein ratio which for each bar is 3 or 4:1. I prefer a snack more along the 2:1 carb to protein ratio. To help this I add a few extra nuts to the bars when I have them for a snack, problem solved! Like all GoMacro products, Thrive are USDA-Certified Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Kosher, Gluten-Free certified, 100% Vegan, and soy-free.

    A few Races...

    Image
    Stillwater half was my final pre-marathon race. The weather was a mess, hot humid and gross! I ran with the 1:40 pacer to keep a nice pace and actually held myself back the first haf but yikes then we turned to the road and no shade and it all faded! I struggled to keep the "easy" pace as did everyone around me. I was happy to finish just 45 secs behind the pacer 1:40:45 and not too far off my goal of 1:38. That heat was brutal... Photo credit Stillwater Gazette Grandmas Marathon  For those who don't follow me on IG  @marathonmom28  here is the short version... I started great, on pace to PR then I became hypothermic (yes in June) and once the rain started it was painful (thank you Raynaud's). I finally walked off the course between mile 19-20 where Matt met me with dry clothes and a warm car. Grandmas this is strike 3, I think I am done!  I spent the car ride home thinking of next races and wondering if I could jump back in, (dumb I know). As we drove

    Turkey Day 5K

    Image
    We have run this "race" many times, through name and sponsor changes, course changes and nasty weather. This year I went into it with hopes of a PR considering the perfect weather, but I failed to think about the massive amounts of people who would decide to run now that it wouldn't be too cold. I'm not sure the exact numbers but there had to be well over 5000 people, many who had no clue how to line up for a race. I lost track of the extreme numbers of walkers, kids, strollers and dogs I passed after it took almost 10 minutes to cross the start line! I spent much of my time weaving and trying not to trip over dog leashes or people stopping in mid course. I pleased to hit Mile 1 with a 7:40, still 1 minute over where I hoped but I figured much slower given the conditions. I finally found a guy to follow who making a path through the course and was able to hold that pace with a little trail running through the downtown parks. I didn't care since it was Nove
