Recap of September Goals

Monday....Monday...Monday!

I finished the month of September off the right way with a run.  It was H-A-R-D and I have no idea why!  As I was running, looking at my Garmin, and feeling like I was going at a snails pace I kept wondering how the heck I had hit a PB just weeks ago.  I couldn't find my rhythm, my arms didn't want to swing right....it just felt off.  I did get it done....and hope to return to more regular running now that my stream of 5k races are over.

The run tonight:

As I was running home, I did realize that I don't feel as strong as I have in the past.  I need to get back at the plank and arm strengthening moves!!

This leads me into my next piece which is to review the goals I set for September.

Eat better - this one lasted until about midmonth and then I seemed to slide backwards in terms of taking snacks to work.  I need to get better at this!

Plank a day - Again....I lasted until mid month. 

Run consistently at least 3 times per week.  When my knee started hurting after Maritime Race weekend, I stopped running during the week so I could run all 5k races.  I hope to pick this back up again in October.  This time last year, I couldn't run at all.  I am happy just to be able to run.

To be more present at work.  This is the one goal that I did continue throughout the entire month.  I managed to dress for the part for the entire month and will continue to do so going forward.

So this leads us to October.  I need to think of my goals....I am going to carry forward the 'Eat Better' goal, but I need to set some new ones for myself!!!  Until then....I plan on enjoying the colors of Autumn and playing in the leaves!!!!

Valley Harvest 5k is 2 weeks away!
