the weekly chase #31



On Tuesdays I join the Weekly Chase link up with Mindy from Road Runner Girl – thanks for hosting, Mindy! Below is a recap of how the goals from last week went over, and my new goals for this week. 

Weekly goals for October 27–November 2; recap

Goal #1 - Daily goals – 
A: Log and stay under calorie goals. 
B: Drink 48 ounces of water.
C: Eat healthier snacks/meals. 
D. Hit 10,000 steps per day via Fitbit.
I did great with this goal this week! I didn't stay under my calories everyday, but I did much better with logging. I also hit over 10,000 steps everyday last week except for Monday, my usual day that lacks. I'm proud of myself for hitting it the rest of the week, since I often miss hitting it on weekdays.

Goal #2 - Continue Dopey training - this week has two 45 min runs and 8.5 miles on Saturday and 20 on Sunday.
Yes. My two week runs were closer to 30 minutes, since I had a lot to do on the weekends, but I managed all four days of running :)

Goal #3 - Roll with the stick/foam roll, stretch, and ice daily.
ALMOST everyday... so close.

Goal #4 - Cross train at least two days.
Only one day here, but I'm ok with that since I ran four days.

Goal #5 - Drink less pop - I am aiming for a weekly count of only 4 (I usually have one a day, so that would cut back on 3... baby steps).
I had 5, so only cut back on two days. This is a tough one for me.


Weekly goals for November 3–9

Goal #1 - Daily goals – 
A: Log and stay under calorie goals. 
B: Drink 48 ounces of water.
C: Eat healthier snacks/meals. 
D. Hit 10,000 steps per day via Fitbit (will use caution here, as my shins and calved have been sore since my 20 miler on Sunday).

Goal #2 - Continue Dopey training

Goal #3 - Roll with the stick/foam roll, stretch, and ice daily.

Goal #4 - Cross train at least two days.


How about you – what are your goals for the week?

PS Don't forget to join me tonight on Twitter for #bibchat at 8pm CT – we are discussing staying motivated, and food, of course ;) Follow BibRave, who will be asking the questions, and search #bibchat to see everyone's answers/connect with others! Great way to be inspired and get some tips.

the weekly chase #30


On Tuesdays I join the Weekly Chase link up with Mindy from Road Runner Girl – thanks for hosting, Mindy! Below is a recap of how the goals from last week went over, and my new goals for this week. (Whoa, am I already on Weekly Chase #30? Seems like just yesterday that I started linking up with Mindy.)

A: Log and stay under calorie goals. 
B: Drink 48 ounces of water.

Um... this was a VERY bad week on all counts. Time to step it up this week—I'm getting serious about these goals again.

Goal #2 - Continue Dopey training - this week has two 45 min runs and 5 miles on Saturday.
I did one short run and a 5 mile on Saturday.

Goal #3 - Roll with the stick/foam roll, stretch, and ice daily.
I did some rolling, but did not ice like I should have. 

Goal #4 - Cross train at least two days.
Yes. Got in some walking and a very short bit of cycling.

the weekly chase #28



On Tuesdays I join the Weekly Chase link up with Mindy from Road Runner Girl – thanks for hosting, Mindy! Below is a recap of how the goals from last week went over, and my new goals for this week.

Weekly goals for October 6–12; recap

Goal #1 - Daily goals – 
A: Log and stay under calorie goals. 
B: Drink 48 ounces of water.
C: Eat healthier snacks/meals. 
D. Hit 10,000 steps per day via Fitbit.
This went much better this week. Not 100%, but I didn't expect it to go from so poor to amazing in a week.

Goal #2 - Continue Dopey training.
Yes. This week was pretty tame as far as mileage, and I was having aches and pains in my arches again, along with starting to feel sick, so I cut back a bit more than I usually would. I felt it was more important to stay healthy for this week's long run (17 miles!).

Goal #3 - Roll with the stick/foam roll, stretch, and ice daily.
I did not do this every day, and am feeling the effects this week. Gotta get back into the habit!

Goal #4 - Cross train at least two days.
Um... just once.

Goal #5 - Join the gym! This way, if/when weather is extremely horrible and I feel like I'm getting a cold, I can run indoors. I also want to go swimming and look into taking some spin classes.
I wasn't home much this week and didn't have a chance to get there when their hours of registration were. Hoping to go this week!

Goal #6 - Meet new friends (and ones I've already 'met' through twitter) at the Chicago Marathon Shakeout Run on Saturday morning and cheer everyone on Sunday! 
Yes! I didn't have a chance to meet as many as I was hoping to, but still met quite a few! It was a fantastic weekend.

Weekly goals for October 13–19

Goal #1 - Daily goals – 
A: Log and stay under calorie goals.
