May Workout Goals

I'm STILL injured so these will still be different than previous months.  May is more of a back down and rest month. I feel old and washed up. I didn't even make these goals until over 1/3 of the way through the month.

1. Complete 16 cardio workouts (running, exercise bike, or elliptical)  (April = 18, met; March = 18, met; February = 18, not met; January = 19, met; December = 18, met; November = 18, met) [This month I will allow 10 minutes on the bike to count if it is a warmup to knee exercises. Usually 15 minutes is the minimum.]
2. Complete 8 core workouts (April = 13, not met; March = 13, not met;  February = 13, not met; January = 13, met; December = 12, met; November = 12, not met) [Usually 5 minutes is the minimum or I won't count it. I will aim for more 6 minute workouts or longer.]
3. Frequency: Run 8 times. (April = 8, met; March = 8, met;  February = 12, met; January = 14, met; December = 10, met, November = 12, met with 15) [I have 2 races this month and am injured so plan to run fewer times.]
4. Distance: Run 50 total miles  (April = 60, not met; March = 60, met; February = 60, met; January = 13, met; December = 40, November = 65, met)
5. Workout with Dave 5 times. (April = 5, met; March = 5, met; February = 9, not met; January = 10, met; December = 12, not met; November = 8, met) 
6. Lift weights 6 times on my own. (April = 10, not met; March = 8, not met; February = 5, not met; January = 5 met; December = 5, not met; November = 4, met with 5) 
7. Attend Body Pump 4 times. (April = 4, met; March = 4, met;  February = 4, not met; January = 3, met; December = 3, not met; November = 4, not met)
8. Have 3 double workout days (morning + evening, lunch + evening, etc) (April = 3, met; March = 2, met; February = 2, met; January = 2, met)
9. Stretch for 10 consecutive minutes 3 times  (April = 5, not met; March = 10, met; February = 2, not met; January = 2, met)
10. Do foam roller exercises 5 times (April = 10, not met; March = 8, not met)
11. Perform yoga or a similar group fitness class 1 times. (April = 2, not met; March = 2, not met; February = 2, not met; January = 2, met; December = 2, met; November = 3, not met) - I hate this goal. I know yoga is good though.

I have a few other goals that are related to exercise but aren't me working out.

1. Have another photo shoot to get some athletic pictures for at the top of this post. (April = 1, met; March = 1, met)
2. No more than 12 rest days all month (sitting at stretching or doing foam roller exercises means it is not a rest day)  (April < 8, met; March<8, met)
3. Put my monthly workout goals in excel or some program so I have them all together and can pull some data based on that. (April = partial, met; March = not met)
4. Make more collages with exercise photos and add them to my exercise gallery (April = met; March = met)
