Goals for races and training
1. Get out of my head when training and competing...negative thoughts and doubts
2. I want to run a sub 5-hour marathon in April in Milwaukee
3. Bike stronger/faster - Tupper Lake ... I finished 7:40:48 overall ... my bike was 3:58 (14:09/hour)...I struggled on the run...I want to go back and PR and be faster on the bike and run.
Overall Goals...Words for 2020
Stronger - Physically and Emotionally
Leaner - Weight and clutter
Faster - Running/Cycling and stop procrastinating and wasting time...get things done faster
There are a lot of challenges out there...30 days of never missing a workout...100 days of running...it's a great way to start a new habit or force yourself to focus on something. So below is my 100 days Challenge...the first 100 days of 2020. The five things I have put down will help me focus, start a new habit, and feel better about myself. A friend of mine put out a challenge on Facebook about journaling for 100 days. So I decided to add that to my list too, it can only help.
100 Days Challenge (January 1 - April 9)
No Sugar
Strength Training/Yoga (Alternating Days)
Journal/blog
Knitting
Declutter something every day
Overall…physically I have felt
slow, bloated, fat, and very soft lately. My IBS/stomach issues have been a bit out of
control and bothering me a lot. So I will be focusing on the low FODMAP diet for a few weeks to get thing under control. I am hoping this helps me feel better and hopefully bring the weight down too. I would like to lose 13 – 15 pounds this year. I believe if I can keep my IBS under control and bring my weight down a bit it will help me with my training and competing. And overall feel a bit better about myself.
I hope everyone has a great New Year and that 2020 is a huge success!!
Keep Moving Forward!!
