Weekly Chase #9

Good Monday morning!  I hope you had a great weekend!  I can't believe I didn't get more done over Spring Break last week, but it was a busy, busy week.  I have to catch up on blogging in general - reading my favorites and writing my own posts (sounds like a goal in the making!)

But first, here's a recap from last week's goals:

1.  20 miles this week, including a virtual 10K and 11 mile long run next Sunday.  Almost!  I logged 19.7 miles last week.  I ended up running my virtual 10K as part of my 11-mile long run yesterday, but I didn't quite get 11 miles in (I had dropped my daughter off at a church activity yesterday afternoon, and went to the nearby greenway to run, and only fit in 9.5 miles before I had to go pick her up.)

2.  Continue daily reflection, and get back to yoga, when I'm able.  Nope!  I did do one yoga workout, and a few days of daily reflection, but not nearly enough to make this goal a success.

3.  Make healthy food choices.  I'm proud to say I am making healthier food choices, but as you'll read in my goals for the week ahead, I've adjusted my plan to ensure that I stay on track.

And now it's time to share what goals I'm chasing this week!

1.  Continue my 1 mile a day streak, and log a total of at least 20 miles, including a 12- mile long run next weekend.   Inspired by a blog I did read last week, I decided I want to get back to more consistent exercise.  The inspirational post talked about logging at least 1-mile everyday, even if it's just a 1-mile walk on a rest day.  So I began this last week, and the consistency really helped.  Today was day 7 for me, and was actually the first day that I just logged a walk (as a recovery to yesterday's long run).  

2.  Keep a daily food log.  I think my general goal of "make healthy food choices" is too general, and it's hard to judge if I'm doing a good job (especially since I'm not jumping on the scale everyday).  So I started back yesterday keeping a food log.  I think just the act of writing it down and making a plan for the day will be helpful with staying consistent.

3.  Get back to normal routine and catch up on blogging (and my taxes!).  Last week was a busy one, and I was overly optimistic about what I could accomplish over the course of the week.  This week I would like to catch up on my own blog posts, reading my favorite blogs, and get my taxes done.  

4.  Read "Jesus Calling" everyday.  I would like to be more consistent with my daily reflection time, and I think Jesus Calling is a good place to start.  

Those are my goals for this week - what are yours?

Have a great week!!
