July 2010 Exercise Log

Here's something I haven't done since May, since I left Dotti's. Daily exercise accountability for the whole month. Hooray?

JULY GOALS:
#1: Twenty workouts - GOAL MET 7/29
#2: Eight 30-minute runs - GOAL MET 7/28
#3: Four other cardio - GOAL MET 7/25
#4: Eight strength-training workouts - GOAL MET 7/29

1- 30 minutes weight-training

On track with my training plan for the race.

7- 45 minutes weight-training
8- Run 3.2 miles

10- Run 3.1 miles - 5K Race Day! 31:57

Race is done ... time to stick to the regular exercise schedule for the rest of the month. I need eleven workouts overall, three more runs, four more strength, and four other cardio, to meet my July goals.

12- 30 minutes weight training
13- Run 3.5 miles
14- WATP - 2 miles
15- Off
16- Off

I didn't feel well over the weekend, so I have some catching up to do. I need 8 more workouts, two runs, three strength, and three cardio by the end of the month.

19- WATP 2 miles
20- 3.75-mile brisk walk (63 minutes)
21- 30 minutes weight training
22- 3.5-mile run
23- Off
24- Jillian Michaels Shred
25- WATP 2.5 miles - GOAL #3 MET!

That was a great week with six workouts. I have been really motivated to break my plateau this week so it was easy to find the motivation to work out. I'm really enjoying my new workout room at home. Next week I just need one more run and one more strength training workout to reach my goals for the month.

26- Off
27- run/walk 3.5 miles (mostly run) - GOAL #2 MET!
28- None
29- 35 minutes weights - GOALS 1 & 4 MET!
30- Run 2.1 miles
31- None

I think I did a great job meeting my exercise goals for the month of July. I even went one workout over, which is a first for me since I usually procrastinate as much as possible. Here's to another great month in August!

Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday: Cardio (at least one 30-minute run per week, plus WATP, Wii, or other cardio)
