February Monthly Goal Recap and March Running Goals

February Running Goal Recap

February is officially in the rear-view mirror! Even though the month didn’t really go to plan, getting a little over 50 miles of running, I still really enjoyed February as a whole! Here’s how I did on my goals for the month:

Run 4 days a week. Grade: F. I had to listen to my body first and foremost. I was being pretty ambitious with this goal so I’m okay that I fell short. I had to take 10 days off running to rest my foot from a potential injury, and I have no regrets about that!

Have a blast at Disney Princess Weekend. Grade: A+! Disney Princess was an amazing experience! My sister and I created a lifetime of memories on this trip. It was also great to finally meet Nicole after the 5K and Patty on the 10K course! Check out my recap if you haven’t already!

Cook 10 healthy meals in February. Grade: F. Why oh why do I keep failing at this?! I only made the following meals: skinny sloppy joe’s, shrimp with peas and pesto pasta, chickpea burgers, and falafels for lunch. I didn’t make those healthy snacks that I planned on even though I bought all the darn ingredients! It’s better than nothing, but I still need to execute!!

Week 8 Report Card

Clearly, I spent a lot of time on my feet over the past week and a half! While I was hoping to do more running and strength training during the week, I’m still happy with all of the activity that I had walking around the parks at Universal! I’m really excited that the steady-state run was a success and look forward to continuing the never-ending challenge of speed work!

The Disney Princess Enchanted 10K was an awesome experience. Since it’s not really a race in my eyes, I’m glad that I kept the right mentality so that I could fully enjoy the experience with my sister. I’m going to give Week 8 an A!

March Running Goals

Now, it’s time to look ahead to the month of March! I’m really excited to see how it goes. Here’s my gameplan for running, fitness, and nutrition!

Check out my running goals for March! I share my running goals each month and running tips at runwithnoregrets.com!

Run 2 solid half marathons. I’ll be running the Rock ‘n Roll DC Half Marathon as a practice run and the Love Run half marathon as my first goal race of the year. This month, I plan to execute my training and enjoy the experience so that I can have 2 successful races!

Plank 10 minutes per week. My core needs more work! Once February hit, I stopped being consistent with planking. I’m hoping to do 2 minutes a day, 5 days a week or 10 minutes total each week, however I can get it in! I’m going to set multiple alarm on my phone so that there are no excuses!

Prepare 10 healthy meals and snacks in March. March will be a lot busier with travel but I want to keep pushing myself in the kitchen. I failed on this in February, so hopefully having more days in the month will help increase my odds of being successful!
