The Weekly Chase...Birthday Week!

I had a great weekend! My birthday is on Thursday and I celebrated a little early! We also carved pumpkins! I'll recap my weekend for you tomorrow! :-)

Today it's time for the Weekly Chase! This is a weekly goal setting post that Melissa at Live, Love, and Run started and I love linking up with other bloggers! Link up with us...you will love it!!!


Here are my goals from last week:

• Goal #1: Start training again and run slow and steady. Check! I ran 3 miles on Tuesday and 10 miles on Friday. Friday's long run was the best one I've had in a while. I kept my pace slow and steady and it was great! My hip is still sore but doesn't seem to be getting any worse.
• Goal #2: No snacking after dinner. Check! I did pretty well with this! The only day I didn't do well with this was on Friday when I ate cake at my friend's house to celebrate my birthday.
• Goal #3: Stretch and foam roll every day. Success! I made sure to do this to help my sore hip. And I am planning on doing this every day now that I am marathon training.

Here are the goals (and reoccurring goals) for this week:

Goal #1: No snacking after dinner.

Goal #2: Stretch and foam roll every day.

Goal #3: Drink at least 64 ounces of water each day. I've been slacking on my water intake lately and I really need to get back on it. Especially since I have a 16 mile run on the schedule for this weekend. 

Goal #4: Make Halloween fun for my boys. It's my favorite holiday! The boys are dressing up to go trick or treating and I am going to dress up with them for the first time! It will be fun!

Goal #5: Make my hubby's birthday fun for him. Yes my husband's birthday is on Halloween! And mine is the next day! It's hard to really celebrate his birthday because we are always so busy with trick or treating. But I want him to feel special on his special day! :-)

So there are my goals! Feel free to keep me accountable by asking me on Facebook or twitter how I'm doing with my goals!

The Weekly Chase...Back at It!!!

I had an awesome family weekend that consisted of the corn maze, a movie, and shopping! I will tell you all about it in tomorrow's post!

But for now it is time for another Weekly Chase! I love linking up with Melissa at Live, Love, and Run! It really helps me to write my goals down each week and tell all of you! You make me accountable! :-)


Here are my goals from last week and how I did with them:

• Goal #1: REST! If you read my Fitness Friday post then you know I was 100% successful with this. Although it was tough...I didn't run one time last week. And yes the hip is feeling better. It's still tight but I think it will be ok. 
• Goal #2: Start the 100 pushups program. Done! I like this program because you only have to do it 3 times a week. I have enough daily things with my planks and wall sits so I don't need something else to try to remember each day lol! Plus the app sets a reminder in your calendar and I LOVE that!!!
• Goal #3: No snacking after dinner. I was about 75% successful with this. One night I ate dessert and another night we had a birthday party we attended and of course I ate cake! 

So here are my new goals for the week:

Goal #1: Start training again and run slow and steady. I'm ready to run! I missed it last week! My goal is to slow myself down so that I can just enjoy it again. I'm hoping the rest not only helped my hip but also helped with the burnout I was feeling. 

Goal #2: No snacking after dinner. Yes I may have this one as a goal every week! I think that is the only way I'm going to stick to this goal...

Goal #3: Stretch and foam roll every day. With marathon training in full swing again I really need to make sure I am stretching and rolling every day. I truly believe that's what kept me injury free during my last marathon training. 

So there we have it! Feel free to keep me accountable by asking me on Facebook or twitter how I'm doing with my goals!
