the weekly chase #33

On Tuesdays I join the Weekly Chase link up with Mindy from Road Runner Girl – thanks for hosting, Mindy! Below are my goals from last week and a little recap on how they went. Under that are my goals for this week. 

Weekly goals for November 17–23; 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 ate better and drank more water, but I didn't do much other than work, laundry, and cleaning (read: lots of laying around resting), so I didn't hit my steps. 

Goal #2 - Continue Dopey training - two 45 minute runs, 7 miles on Saturday.

If you read my week in review, you know my training was non-existant this week. I rested and tried to get healthier in preparation for this week's Dopey Challenge simulation (each day is about 2 miles less than the race day, actual simulation later in December).

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

I didn't ice daily, but I did receive a Addaday roller thanks to the BibRave Pro program and have LOVED using it on the daily. It feels AMAZING. I also stretched.

Goal #4 - Cross train at least two days.

Nope.

Goal #5 - Unpack, do laundry, clean house.

Yes.

Weekly goals for November 24–30

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.

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.

Goal #5 - Clean house. I'd really like to clean/organize to get a head start before the new year rolls around and I feel overwhelmed. 

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

the weekly chase #29

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 13–19; 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.

Much better with these goals, though need to work on my steps during the week and drinking enough water.

Goal #2 - Continue Dopey training.

Yep! I did one run during the week, 7 miles on Saturday and 17 on Sunday.

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

Not everyday, but better than the week before.

Goal #4 - Cross train at least two days.

Fail. If I skip this week, it's a really bad sign. Part of the whole gym membership pros was all of the classes and cross training that can be done there.

Goal #5 - Join the gym! For real this time.

I FINALLY DID IT! I signed up last week and plan on going this week for my short runs after work when it's dark and for some cross training (bike, pool, or row).

Weekly goals for October 20–26

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.

Goal #2 - Continue Dopey training - this week has two 45 min runs and 5 miles on Saturday.

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?

the weekly chase #25

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

Weekly goals for September 15–21; 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.

A. OK with this, but on my whirlwind Saturday I forgot to log anything, and ruined my 145 day streak. This upsets me a lot. I was really hoping to get to 365! Ugh. I know this is such a stupid thing to be mad about, but I am. Time to start over.

B. Yes.

C. Yes.

D. 4 out of 7 days yes - 6546, 5428, 15175, 7352, 14249, 31008, 15368.

Goal #2 - Continue Dopey training = 3 days of running. Two days will be 45 minute runs, while the weekend will be a short 3 miles (which is less than what my 45 minute runs produce). Technically the week calls for 4 runs, with 4 miles on Saturday and 13 on Sunday, but I am hoping to get my race next weekend switched to the half, so am swapping out the weeks. Cross train two days.

I actually did 4 days of running, including 4 miles Friday, 13 miles Saturday, and a 5k Sunday. Since I'm not sure I'll be able to switch my 10K to a half this Saturday (or if I even want to anymore), I wanted to make sure I got in the back-to-back training days. No official cross training this week.

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

I did pretty good with this, but not every day. I definitely noticed a difference, so want to get back in the habit of doing it daily.

Goal #4 - Lose .5 pounds.

I gained this week. Poop. 

Goal #5 - Clean the house. This isn't physically health related, but my mental health depends on it ;) With the crazy weeks and weekends I've been having, piles of clothes and mail have been getting larger and larger, and it's time to get things in order!

Got some of it done, but there's still plenty to do.

Weekly goals for September 22–28

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.

Goal #2 - Continue Dopey training.

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

Goal #4 - Lose .5 pounds.

Goal #5 - Continue to clean the house throughout the week.

Goal #6 - Start downloading iTunes music for the marathon. There's no way my phone is going to make it the entire marathon length (as I'm sure it'll take me 6+ hours to complete), and my phone is getting old and tired. Since Spotify isn't on the Apple Nano, I have to use iTunes (which I haven't bough music for in yeeeears). I don't want to spend so much money all at once, I figured breaking it up a bit will be better. Plus, with Christmas not too far off (can't believe I just said that), I'll be asking for some gift cards to help complete the process ;)

How about you — what are your goals for this week?
