We’ve got FIVE incredible co-hosts My First 5K and More, Running With Attitude, Run Laugh Eat Pie, Runs with Pugs, and me for another Fit Five Friday link-up!
Friday is my favorite day of the week. But, this Friday is making me a little sad. My first day of school is in a month. I have two days full of meetings and then the students start on the 14th. How is this Summer going by so fast?
Here are my 5 fitness goals for the remainder of this year:
• Continue running and walking. I am not doing a running streak but I do have a running and/or walking streak. I’ve been doing some kind of outdoor activity since June 28th. I hope to continue doing this during the Winter as well.
• Use the Peloton bike. I’ve been using the bike 3x a week. Total minutes for each class is 25 minutes which includes a warm-up and a cool down.
• Watch what I eat. I don’t want to use the excuse that just because I am training for a marathon that I can eat anything I want. I’ve mentioned before that my A1C was in the pre-diabetic stage. I am planning to get tested again in the Fall and hopefully my A1C will be lower.
• Get enough sleep. I need to get plenty of sleep or I don’t function well. Plus, I get cranky if I don’t get enough sleep.
• Spend time on recovery. My long runs are getting longer and I don’t bounce back to my bubbly self like I used to. I ran 7 miles last Saturday and was sore the whole day. I must remember to use my massage gun everyday.
The topic for next week – 5 favorite race photos. Feel free to write about this or any fitness topic you’d like. We hope you’ll link up with us!
All important goals.
Thanks for the reminder. I haven’t used my massage gun in ages.
Good luck the rest of the year.
I think you will start using it once you start running more miles. Your body will need it.
I should have added better sleep to my roster. I think I’m doing better, but still a far cry from where those hours of slumber should be…
Slowly making improvements is still a win.
