It’s that time of the month again to assess how my month went. I know (before even looking at last months posts) that it wasn’t a great month for goals being accomplished. Taking double the recommended course load took a toll on my exercise habits and routines.
With August right around the corner and classes finishing up within the first week of August, I can’t wait to get out and get some good runs in. I know it’s going to be a challenge, as I have taken about a month off. But the sooner I get back into it, the better off I will feel!
Maybe I should sign up for a 5k or half marathon to help me stay motivated to run. I’ll have to check out Bellingham and see what they got going on. It would feel good to get to train for something and push myself to run further distances.
With this being said, here are my workout goals for August:
- Sign up for a run
- Run at least one 4 mile run a week
- Keep arms toned at the gym
As I sit here and write this post, I can’t help but think how much of a burden this feels. Although not many people look at my posts, this is my way of recording what I am doing and what I am feeling. But I do think it is hindering my motivation to run and workout because I know I will have to write about it later.
I think what I am going to try to do for August is keep everything short and sweet in my posts. Just a quick couple of sentences of what I did that day and how it felt. Lets test is out and see how it goes!
Monthly stats
August had two really good weeks (31 and 34) with a good mixture of run, gym, and rest days. However, weeks 32 and 33 had more rest days than I would have liked. I am proud of what I accomplished this month, but still want to continue to push myself throughout the rest of 2019.
