Ok, my one week goal is to complete three Runner-Core workouts. I need to improve my strength and core!!
My goal for this week is to increase my fiber intake. My average is about half of the recommended value (12 instead of 25). I also want to remember to take my vitamin each day.
I did sleep a bit better throughout the week, probably aided by the fact that I was running 7 or 8 miles every night after dinner. If I was still lacking for sleep, I certainly made up for it on Saturday.
I went out to Bradbury Mountain to meet some friends that were planning on running to the Androscoggin River (about 12 miles 1 way) – I had told them last week I was only up for about 18 miles. The fun comes in from the 10 inches of snow that we had gotten over the past week. The snowmobilers had packed it down a little, but it was still some tough footing and by the time we turned around the sun came out and provided a nice little melt which made it even tougher. I worked harder to average a 10:30/mile pace than I did the week before to average a 5:48/mile pace in the race.
After I got home, I ate. I slept. I ate some more. I slept some more. I didn’t do anything worthwhile all day – I was useless. I tried reading my book in bed with my wife and the cat while she studied for her tax class, but she had to leave because I kept dozing off and snoring and it was distracting her.
I haven’t slept that much in a single day since I ran the 50k mountain race last year.
This week I’m back to mileage. I managed around 55 or 56 miles last week, and this week I’d like to be running back up into the low/mid 60s.
I won, I won!! Thank you!! This week I’m back to focusing on veggies. Two servings with every dinner.
Hi Cindy,
I did pretty well in keeping my healthier breakfast goal this past week. I really liked the combination of scrambled eggs and homemade wheat toast (often made by my husband – he’s a good breakfast cooker!)
Cindy, as always, thank you for the motivation. I never would have kept it up for the whole week if I hadn’t had to report back here. It wasn’t pretty, but at least I had to be honest with myself. I can’t do it for another week, though! So this week I will do cardio twice and yoga once. It’ll be a challenge to find time to do that many workouts but I’m going to try!
Great Job everyone! Keep the Goals coming.
Mine is to do 10 minutes (extra) of activity every day.
