Alright, I know that I’m a week late with my March goals check-in, but better late than never, right? As a recap, here were my March goals:
Get better!! This one may seem like a silly goal but it’s super important right now. I haven’t been this sick in years and it’s really messing with me mentally. I feel like I’ve regressed, fitness wise, tremendously.
- A+. It took a lot longer than expected to get over the bronchitis and sinusitis but I’m all better.
Spend more time in the kitchen. Yep, I putting this one back on my list; however, I’m going to be more specific this time. I will make at least one meal the both of us can enjoy. One of the reasons I find this such of a struggle is due to the fact that Jody aka the hubster refuses to eat clean. After 1 1/2 years of clean eating, I still haven’t been able to get him on the bandwagon.
- I would give this one a B-. I did end up finding some things that we can both enjoy but still didn’t spend as much time as I could have in the kitchen.
Enjoy my next half marathon. At the end of the month I will be running the Viking Half Marathon and I just want to have fun. I’m not worried about time goals or PRs. Just whatever happens, happens.
- A-. I enjoyed running the Viking 1/2 marathon without any pressure of a PR.
Cross train, cross train, cross train! Now that I’m not training for a marathon (first time since last July) I can focus my attention on cross training without fear of injury. I will be hitting the weight machines pretty hard, cycling my little legs and {of course} still getting in my running – just not 40 miles a week worth of running.
- C. Because it took so long to get over being sick, I really only had two full weeks in March to cross train. I did make it to the gym several times during those two weeks.
Focus more on my spirituality. I have dropped the ball big time with my devotions and Bible reading in the past few months. Instead of getting up and getting into His word, I find myself jumping onto the computer to check the blog/social media/my favorite bloggers. My priorities definitely need re-arranging.
- D. Once again, I let this goal slide by me.
Now for my April goals:
Prioritize my spirituality. I’m making this my number #1 goal this month.
Don’t die in CrossFit. Ha! I’m loving crossfit so far but I really need to make the most of it with learning proper technique. Right now, running is on the back burner as I attempt to increase my overall strength. I’m still doing two short weekly runs and one long{ish} weekend run but I’m not logging my usual miles this month.
Maintain a mostly Paleo diet. When in crossfit, do as they do, right? My instructor encouraged/challenged us to try going Paleo so I’m going to give it my best shot. I’ll share some more thoughts on it in a later post.
Complete my first mud run / obstacle race. I’m signed up for the Warrior Dash on April 20th and am completely stoked to run it.
