September Reviews & October Goals

SEPTEMBER REVIEW:
1. Run 1st 5K (since 2003) on Sept 11th. - GOAL MET!!!
2. Run 'my' lake 5K in under 46 minutes. (currently at 49 mins 20 secs) - GOAL MET!!!
3. Run 1 mile at 14 mins 30 secs. (fastest current run was 15 mins 30 secs) - GOAL MET!!! Actually ran 1 mile in UNDER 13 mins!!!
4. Buy a bicycle! - GOAL MET!!!
5. Lose 4 pounds (so 143). GOAL MET!!!  EXACTLY!
6. Get back in the habit of drinking 8 glasses of water a day. (So, let's say 20 days this month.) - Goal NOT met
7. Start logging food again. (15 days this month) - Goal NOT met
8. Run 8 miles per week, swim 500 yards per week, and 'bicycle' (probably at gym) 4 miles a week. Goal NOT met - Did get in most of my running, but only 1 short swim and didn't buy bike until Friday.

Overall, I'm really happy with my results. I met 5 of 8 goals!

OCTOBER GOALS (crazy month, so goals shorter)

1. Lose 3.5 pounds - that would put me at 139.5!
2. Run a long run of at least 5.5 miles.
3. Run a total of 30 miles.
4. Ride bike at least once per week.
5. Have one bike ride of at least 10 miles.
6. Do strength training twice a week for upper AND lower.

I'm not going to make any goals about logging food or drinking water as I know that's probably not going to happen. I would also like to start taking swim lessons or join some kind of swim practice, but I don't think that will happen this month, either. For now, I'll concentrate on running, cycling, and losing more pounds!
