May Workout Goals - Overall Summary

 

May started off really low with all forms of exercise. Running was even low but at least I did that the first 10 days. I didn't do anything else in that time.  I feel like so far it's a rest month. I haven't even done abs or foam roller at home like I have done in the past.  Also with the massive cleaning and throwing junk away, I'm getting a lot of calorie burn without specifically exercising. Most of my recent purchases are now too big.  I'm so far from on track yet I'm the least concerned about it. I guess posting to be held accountable is not working this month. About 2/3 of the way through the month I decided I should quit my goals this month.  After the month ended I realized I hadn't updated anything to keep track. I wouldn't have had anything to fill out if it weren't for my Garmin keeping track for me. I forget everything else even if I did anything else.

Summary

1. Complete 16 cardio workouts - Completed 16
2. Complete 8 core workouts - Completed 2
3. Frequency: Run 8 time - Completed 13
4. Run 50 total miles - Completed 62.97
5. Workout with Dave 5 times - Completed 4
6. Lift weights 6 times on my own - Completed 0
7. Attend Body Pump 4 times - Completed 2 
8. Have 3 double workout days - Completed 0
9. Stretch for 10 consecutive minutes 5 times - Completed 0
10. Do foam roller exercises 5 times - Completed 0
11. Perform yoga or a similar group fitness class 1 time - Completed 0

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.  - Don't think I did
2. No more than 12 rest days all month  - Oops
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.  - Partially done
4. Make more collages with exercise photos and add them to my exercise gallery

Details:

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.
