What are your March goals? How did your February goals fare?

Well, Stephanie.....(Steph's Happy Medium) I'm glad you asked, bc I think it's time to think about what goals I have to put in place for March :-D

I'm going to answer backward, bc I think I first need to reflect, and then focus on moving UP and ON!


February Goals:
FAIL - 1) approximately 50 miles logged running
FAIL - 2) 4 "cross training" workouts (one none-running workout per week) 
FAIL - 3) Lose 3 lbs (and forgive myself when I don't)
WIN - 4) Give up Diet Soda!
FAIL - 5) Take ONE class...of some kind, fitness or otherwise - I just want to learn new things!


1. My mileage was about 29 miles. It was a short month, I dunno why I chose such a lofty goal!
2. I didn't do ANY cross training in the truest sense of the word - I did have a LOT of rehearsals for my school's musical though - which is KINDA like cross-training.
3. I lost 1.59 (I am NOT counting this week, it's part of March!)...but now I am annoyed at myself, looking at my goals and seeing that I wrote "Forgive myself WHEN I don't." 
4. I went 29 days without Diet Coke. I've had 2 cans in the last two days, I miss it too much, so I decided I am going to only allow myself a soda about 1x a week from here on in, when I am most craving it/when I eat out with P.
5. I kept scheduling classes and then cancelling them. Motivation was rough in Feb, I guess.




SO, I am moving on, and setting 5 goals for March, bc I think that 5 is highly attainable. (Wording will be carefully considered this time!)
1. Log 72 training miles for LI Half Marathon. (This is the "light" version of the schedule, with 3 runs a week. I may choose 4 some week, which means I should kick this mileage's ASS!)
2. Try 4 new recipes.
3. Lose 4 lbs, forgive myself IF I don't!
4. Take a class, fitness or otherwise.
5. Commit to and complete a new cycle of OP 2 Overcome. (Will start Saturday 3/5 after WI)


I think this is pretty good. It's attainable, and if I commit to myself, it will be done. I think for my next Cycle of OP 2 Overcome, I'm going to just go back to my simple goal of getting all GHGs, each day. We shall see!
