Goals: April Recap and Into May

May 2, 2013 By: Runner Leana

Is it really May already?  Where is this year going??  Time to recap my April goals!

  • Train as smartly and as strongly as possible for the BMO Vancouver Half.  Check!  I followed the training plan my coach gave me, getting in all my runs.  My ankle is feeling good and I’m ready for the race this weekend!
  • Bring back the plank a day.  Only a partial check.  I still struggle to remember to do this every day.  Maybe I need to not leave it for the end of the day all the time??
  • Swim at least once a week.  Check!  I’ve been doing a good job of making swimming a priority.
  • Watch less TV.  Partial check.  I think we did well with this in the beginning of the month.  I focused on reading and powered through Gold by Chris Cleave in the first part of the month, but this goal definitely lost steam as the month went on.
  • Visit two “new to me” states in April.  Check!  On Sunday I flew to Grand Junction, Colorado.  This week I’ve been travelling around Utah!

My goals for May are:
  • Have fun and run a well executed race at the BMO Vancouver Half Marathon this weekend.
  • Do a plank a day.  Core three times per week (starting next week).
  • Swim twice a week, as per my schedule.
  • Bring all breakfasts and lunches to work with me.  No buying food!
  • Time to focus on the goal and prepare for Great White North in July!
What are your goals for May?

    What did you think of “Gold”? I read it a couple of months ago and I loved it!
