I basically hit my goals dead on last week. Got a long run in on Wednesday, got a couple of strength training sessions in, and ran 2 races. I placed 9th in the road race and was about 30 seconds slower than I’d like to have been, but that’s what I get for not doing any speedwork lately. I won the trail race on Sunday, and that has to be some of the most fun I’ve had racing in a long time. Now I have 2 course records. Total mileage for the week was about 77 kilometers (~48 miles).
This week I want to run easy and get in some cross training. The main goal is to stay slow and to run at least 90 kilometers (~55 miles). I bought some Vibram KSOs (“shoes” that are basically just a glove for your feet that provides a minimum amount of protection) so I want to get a run or two in with those to start building some foot strength.
I squeaked by with my 5/7 days of exercise. It was a challenge staying on track while on vacation, but it definitely made me pay attention to my fitness, so that’s a good thing.
This week I want to look into getting back to the gym! I want to look at my schedule and determine when I can (and will) go. I haven’t been to a gym in a few years, and I think I caught the bug while on vacation. That’s a blog post unto itself, but suffice it to say, I’d like to give it a go once again.
I managed to complete my goal BUT not without reservation!!! I HATE my pool workouts because they are extremely strenuous and are exposing my umm “weakness”. While I am strong.. I’m not as strong as I thought LOL..
This weeks goal is to strength train 3x’s this week. No PT since I’m on work travel and although I have access to a pool I will jog/walk in the pool BUT NOT do the exercises he has done with me..
Just being honest.
Good week to everyone..
The weather is calling for rain starting tomorrow so that ruins my normal goal of walking with the boys five nights a week. So, this week’s goals are different.
Tues: Walk with the boys.
Wed: Yoga.
Thurs: Cardio
Fri: Walk with the boys.
And no fast food.
Hi Cindy, how cool, thanks so much!!
Well I did reach my goal last week but I’m feeling even better right now after having a shift in my mindset yesterday. So, I’ve still got the same goal, but now I’m wearing my heart rate monitor when doing my cardio to make sure I stay in my target heart rate zone so that I’m burning fat and not sugar.
Same goal – 5 cardio sessions (paced walking on treadmill, wearing heart rate monitor), 30 minutes each, 2 body sculpting sessions using resistance bands. I’ve already done my upper body sculpting and one cardio, which was hard because I had to stay in my THR for maximum results. Therefore, I wasn’t getting the biggest bang for my buck when I wasn’t wearning my monitor before….
Thanks!
I *kinda* hit goal. I didn’t run. And I’m kinda bummed about that.
To mix it up a bit, I have a new weekly goal. I joined Weight Watchers this week (again). I want to stay within points…
Great job everyone. Keep it up. You’re getting through the week great.
Anyway I can join in on this? I think I was born again over the weekend. Finally.
I’d like to make a goal of walking for 30 minutes (at least) alone (this is key) at a local park 3/4 times a week.
That’s it. For now.
