December Workout Goals - How I did

 Here's how I did
  1. Complete 16 cardio workouts = 16
  2. Complete 13 core workouts  = 4
  3. Frequency: Run 12 times = 8
  4. Distance: Run 60 total miles = 17.23 (pitiful) 
  5. Workout with Dave 5 times. = 10
  6. Lift weights 10 times. = 3 
  7. Exercise 5 times that aren't considered cardio above (mainly thinking about walks here that don't fit in anywhere) = 8
  8. Have 3 double workout days (morning + evening, lunch + evening, etc) = 7
  9. Stretch for 10 consecutive minutes 2 times  = 0
  10. Do foam roller exercises 3 times = 0
  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. = 3
  2. No more than 12 rest days all month (stretching or doing foam roller exercises means it is not a rest day)  = 12
  3. No more than 3 consecutive rest days. = Happened 0 times
I'm actually surprised my mileage is so low because I thought I was motivated.  I was so close to so many goals yet so far away from others. I know I worked out more than a lot lately but really I only made 1 goal.  I've been walking a lot more lately to the store and things so I'm getting more workouts that way. But I'm also forgetting to document them so the number is even higher. Normally December is a huge rut in working out but normally I'm working and doing a ton of holiday things. This year that was not the case. (OK last December wasn't so bad.)
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. Key point is that you try to make your goals. Some people don't even do that. So keep working at it.

    1. Thanks. Also they are pretty tough. No room for even a week of being lazy.
