June Mini-goals

The key to success is having measurable attainable goals and keeping yourself accountable to those. I have fallen off the wagon this past month with my healthy eating and have gained some weight back. I refuse to allow myself to be unhealthy like this. Therefore, I am setting myself some mini goals for my health and fitness for this month. These goals are in addition to the ones I set for myself for my new year's goals.

They say with goals that they need to be SMART:

Specific

Measurable

Attainable

Relevant

Time Bound

My list of goals is below here. I am going to try and check in at least weekly here with how I am doing on those.
* Complete training plan for half marathon training every day (schedule is here, see the tab above). Complete a log entry for each run completed.
* Complete strength training once per week (minimum). Complete a log entry for each workout explaining what was done.
* Track all intake daily on myfitnesspal (over your limit or not!) for every day in the month of June.
* Consume at least 64 oz of water daily, track on myfitnesspal, for every day in the month of June.

Thursday, May 30, 8:05p - 8:35p

Total time:30 minutes
Distance:2.07 miles
Average Pace: 14:31
4.5 minute warm up walk, intervals of 3 minutes running to 1.5 minutes walking for a total of 30 minutes. 

Stats from my fitbit (because my ipod apparently decided to turn itself on in my purse and drain the battery. Dead ipod = no nike+ app) 

Weather: Sunny with just a few clouds, slight breeze, temps in low 60s
How did you feel: Again I felt pretty sore, more in the ankle/lower shin/lower calf. Not sure what the cause was, but again I felt much better by the end of the run.

Tuesday, May 28, 6:56 pm - 7:39 pm

Total time: 43 minutes
Distance: 3.13 miles
Average Pace: 13:45
4.5 minute warm up walk, intervals of 3 minutes running to 1.5 minutes walking for a total of 45 minutes. 

My Nike+ details (note, they are slightly different then the stats above because I accidentally hit "end" too quickly on my nike app) 

Weather: Cloudy with some sun-breaks, brisk wind 
How did you feel: Early on, I felt pretty sore in the calves, shins and ankles. Soreness didn't improve until going down hill. I'm not sure if this was caused by the hill I was running, the bike ride I did on Saturday or a combination of the two. By the end, the soreness had decreased considerably and I was feeling good.
