Overall, this challenge was a success for me. It gave me goals to focus on and strive toward. I felt like I well surpassed my expectations for this challenge in two of the categories, but I didn't really do super well on the other one. I guess two out of three is progress though! Gives me something to continue to work on going forward!
Here is a recap of my progress on my three goals:
Here is a recap of my progress on my three goals:
1) Go for a 2-6 mile run AT LEAST three times a week. Racing season is back so I want to make sure I am properly preparing for a number of shorter (10k or less) races I have on the horizon.
This was my failure. I think I managed one run each week. I had a 10k race in the middle of the month which went surprisingly well for me considering I just wasn't feeling it from pretty much the start. Otherwise, my month was just jam packed and super busy. I know that isn't a great excuse, but I just haven't felt like running much lately. I have a full race calendar in June though so hopefully I can find my grove again soon.
2) Complete each of the following 30-day challenges for arms, abs, and lunges.
Done. Done. And Done. I could not have been any more proud of myself for sticking in there with these workouts. There was only two days that I had to push it over into the next one, but I did double duty those two days to ensure I got all 30 workouts in! These were not easy...especially toward the end, but I can totally tell a difference in my arm strength for sure. I am going to research some additional options for similar, but new challenges for next month.
3) Track my eating habits on My Fitness Pal. I have done this in the past and it really helped me to think about what I ate before I ate it. It's time to dust off that helpful app again!
Done. I tracked everything I ate for the whole month! I had a few terrible days, but also a few great ones. Going to try to keep this one up as well.
Looking forward to seeing all of your recaps today! I just know you all did great!
