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.

      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!

    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...

    GoMacro Thrive Review and Giveaway!

    Image
    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. Thrive is currently available to purchase online and will become available to Whole Foods this month!
