GFTW 23: A 10K Course- Yippee!

Naw, I didn't run a 10k this morning, but I had (almost) the next best thing. The Hit the Road Jack 10k goes right in front of our house. In fact, mile 5 is our house. How's that for a front row cheering section seat? Here's the marker sign (and my casa in the back) with our chairs lined up ready to watch. And watch with a big cowbell we did. I did the race last year and did well for myself (I blogged about it here), but it's not on my training schedule this year with Vineman, so I got to ring some cowbell with the kids.


And speaking kids and cowbells, here are my Goals for the Week:


Athlete: I'm working all day Mon thru Weds at Athleta (where they ring a cowbell when good ideas happen), which means less time to schedule training and more standing than normal. Sit when I can at work, and bike early style Mon-Weds- just do it am.


Health: In the same realm, I sort of half ass'd my intakes again, and I realize it's because of the uncertainty of my heel problem with Vineman looming, so this transcends to my intakes. Nutrition Gal said something though that helped. She said and I quote:  

I am here to help you achieve your goals, AM.  And w/ your heel injury it is even more important .... that you also eat cleanly/fuel appropriately in order to be back at the top of your game quicker once the heel heals!  This is so important.  I know life happens but let’s use this week to be focused!


It's what I needed to hear.

Mom: Create one play date or time where kiddos are separated for a few hours. They've been out of school for a week, where they normally get to drift apart and play with other kids. Well, this past week it's been just them, together, for the most part 24/7. I think they need a lil' separate time.


Personal Growth: Before I wake up each morning visualize my day. Start from the end of the day and work backwards. How do I feel at the end of the day? What did I do in the evening, afternoon, and then morning? This sorta helps me live into the final outcome of what I'd like my day to be.



As always, I write these lil' goals down on a bookmark I keep in my organizer and attempt to read them each morning as a I plan my day. Here's what I got, and now I'd LOVE to know what you've got planned his week. Oh, and if you have some personal growth goal gems to share...please do!
