October Workout Goals - How I did

Here's how I did
  1. Complete 16 cardio workouts = 13
  2. Complete 13 core workouts  = 7
  3. Frequency: Run 12 times = 10
  4. Distance: Run 60 total miles = 25.02 
  5. Workout with Dave 5 times. = 2
  6. Lift weights 10 times. = 9 
  7. Exercise 5 times that aren't considered cardio above (mainly thinking about walks here that don't fit in anywhere) = 2
  8. Have 3 double workout days (morning + evening, lunch + evening, etc) = 5
  9. Stretch for 10 consecutive minutes 2 times  = 1
  10. Do foam roller exercises 3 times = 2
  11. Do yoga 1 time = 0
I have a few other goals that are related to exercise but aren't me working out.
  1. Have a photo shoot to get some athletic pictures for at the top of this post. = 0
  2. No more than 12 rest days all month (stretching or doing foam roller exercises means it is not a rest day)  = 15
  3. No more than 3 consecutive rest days. = Happened 2 times
I'm actually surprised my mileage is so low because I thought I was running more.  I was so close to so many goals. I know I worked out more than a lot lately but really I only made 1 goal.  I'm most proud of how many times I lifted weights. 

Enjoy the details.

If you are curious how they compare month to month, you can look at old months or I might post my excel file.  I used to put in parenthesis what the old months goals were and if I met them but that cluttered it all up too much.

  1. Good job, Colleen! I know you didn't meet your goals but you got close and you're getting out there. That's what's important!
