Get my diet back on track. I was doing really well with my diet, until I started running. Then I did the typical, "I'm running I can eat" routine and I'm right back where I started. I feel like my weight is holding me back in a lot of instances, especially in my running. I know it's crazy, but I still feel really weird mentioning that I run to people. I get self conscious, because I know I don't look like the stereotypical runner. I'm going to start weighing in weekly again, and I'll share my gains/losses on a new tab up top, called The Weigh it is.
Do more than just run three times a week. I've accomplished a huge goal of mine (1/2 marathon), so I need to be confident in the base I've got. But I want more, and to do that, I can't keep doing the same things. I want to add at least two days of cross training to the mix, to the point that I'm working out five days per week consistently!
Figure out my fall racing schedule, and start looking towards next year. I'd like to plan my races a little better next year, maybe traveling a little to do some more interesting races. Brad and I usuallly take a long weekend trip here and there, and I'd like to line up a race with some of those.
Do you have any goals for this month?? Staying out of the Halloween candy should definitely be another one of mine!!!

Haha, I'm definitely planning to stay away from Halloween candy and run 3 times per week. I like your tab title "The Weigh It Is".
ReplyDeleteYes for October goals! I think you already read all of mine...but the main ones are to get STRONG and eat WHOLESOME food! Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteMy main goal is to eat less than eleven bags of candy corns.
ReplyDeletelets plan a race trip together!!!!!!! goal: get back on track with eating. i have really gotten out of my good habits after my trip home. trying to get BACK ON TRACK!!! thanks for all of your support this past weekend and always! you are awesome!
ReplyDeleteMan, I really ought to create some October Goals... I mean I have 'em, but I draw a blank when I imagine myself composing a blog post about it!! These are definite inspirations to jump start my own...
ReplyDeletesome great goals! All of these OCT. goals posts and I am thinking there will be one in my horizon as well!
ReplyDeleteCross-Training can be fun and interesting, but expect some sore legs for your runs the first couple tries...if you belong to a gym, the best way to get some in is participating in the classes (think boot camp, conditioning, kick boxing)
I'm not making any goals until after these 2 half marathons, they have my full priority! lol Great goals!
ReplyDeleteEating is the hardest part though!!! I do that too...I'm like "Hey, I worked out for an extra 30 minutes so I can eat a pound of cheese!" Never works. UGH!
ReplyDeleteMy goal for October is to stay away from candy corn. It screams my name....
