Month in Review: September 2010

Swims - 1
Bikes – 5, approximately 87 miles
Runs – 11, roughly 37.55 miles
Body Works + Abs Class – 5
Yoga Class - 1
REST Days - 8 (Includes lots of walking in NYC, mowing lawn, cleaning house, and dancing the night away at a wedding!)

Highlights of the Month:

• Amazing weekend in NYC to celebrate my BFF’s bachelorette party!
• A weekend back in ND spent hanging with my sis and her BF and celebrating friends’ open house!
• Participated in the Minneapolis Bike Tour, and enjoyed the 36 mile ride around the city!
• Celebrating and participating in our best friends’ wedding at a resort in northern MN!
• Signed-up for my first 10k and started doing some longer runs!
• Making it to Body Works every week (but yet still store for a couple days after every time – dang lunges and planks!)
• New running shoes – my toes are in heaven!

Lows of the Month:

• Only swimming and doing yoga once – it’s hard to fit everything I want to do in one week and swimming seems to get the short-end of the stick!
• Literal blood sugar lows – too many to count, not cool.

Goals for the Month of October:

• Survive my first 10K!
• Decide what to do next – perhaps another indoor triathlon?
• Continue to increase the length and number of runs, while incorporating speedwork and tempo runs
• Try to get to yoga more! It should be better this month as I won’t be gone every weekend : )
• Get my BG’s under-control. I hope to have less lows and as result not gain any more weight!
• Keep my food, exercise and BG log up to date daily – so much work!
• Read more, and make more time for my puppy – she needs exercise too!
