Last Monday Mini Goals of September

Breakfast

FacebookTweetPin
27 Sep

Hello 🙂 Today is the last Monday of September! This means it’s the last chance to make some weekly goals for Sept. 2010! What are yours?

My Monday Mini-Goals:

1. Do 8 minute Abs  & spend 10 minutes stretching everyday

2. Brush teeth right after dinner

3. Get Organized with writing, home stuff and school

This morning I did a slow and steady 6 miles. Once again my legs were still sore from my rough 20 miler this weekend. I am very happy to be in taper now. I’ll be running less for the next 19 days until the RACE!!!

Breakfast: Lately I cannot decide on what to have for the most important meal of the day. I literally waste 10 minutes standing in the kitchen holding a bag of bread to make AB toast, then putting it down and grabbing a yogurt to make a cereal bowl, then I grab… It is ridiculous.

 Today I had to make a fast decision on breakfast because Ben needed to carpool and be at work 30 minutes earlier than I’m used to. I quickly made an egg sandwich with laughing cow and ketchup. Apple for the road.

Luckily, my mouth and tummy were both very happy with this choice!

Last night I had to make another snap decision.My mom forwarded me her Groupon email (from LA county, which I don’t get). The Malibu Half Marathon was super discounted. But – the offer was only good until midnight. I got the email at 10pm. When I clicked on the link for more information the clock on the side was ticking down. Ahhh! What to do, what to do?!

My mind raced with pros and cons…

Pros: It’s cheaper than any other race I’ve signed up for, it’s local (kinda), I’m ready for it.

Cons: It still costs money I didn’t plan to spend even if it’s cheaper, It’s 80 miles away (and a very early drive), I want to make sure I recover well after the mary and not push it too much.

Well – maybe I should have written the list out last night instead of just thinking about it because I decided to go for it 🙂

 So I’ll be doing a half marathon a little less than a month after the full. I’ll probably take it easy and enjoy the experience, but we’ll see 🙂

*I am participating in the Project Food Blog Contest and made a Thai Classic for the second challenge. You can read the post and vote here.

THIS IS YOUR YEAR.

      I’m pretty obsessed with chickpeas myself! Good luck on both the full and the half-marathons! My goal is to sign up for a race (any race) soon!

      Don’t you just love Groupon?! They had one for the marathon/half marathon in Newport, RI. I totally jumped at it thinking it was saving me 50%…I’m such a sucker for a good deal!

      Wow, I wish the Groupons around here did something like that! Even with that pro and con list, I bet you’ll be glad that you signed up for it.

      Happy Monday!
