SBBC Final Week

I'm sad to say, but this week didn't go as I'd hoped. Testing week at school is really rough. I managed all my miles though. However, the strength training and stretching just didn't happen. And I didn't log my food. I know I did well with my water, but I didn't keep track of my fruits/veggies (so I'm not logging any points there, even though I'm sure that at least a couple of days I met my goal).

I also didn't ever get around to wagering any points. I had planned on wagering 26.2 for the 26.2 miles I planned on running for Boston, which I did.

Here's my exercise points for the week:
Monday: 4 miles in 40:00=4 points
-stretching for 10:00=1 point
Wednesday: 5 miles in 46:30=4.6 points
Thursday: 5 miles in 44:45 plus .25 miles walking in 4:15=4.5 points
Saturday: 3 miles in 26:38=2.7
-20 minute walk/hike with the kids while camping=2
Sunday: last 3 miles of my 26.2 in 31:xx plus .65 walk/run (total time 38:30)=3.8 points

Total points: 22.6 points

Three Thing Thursday 4/25

1. We're going camping, we're going camping! It's ridiculous how excited going camp makes me :) This time, we're going with friends, which we've never done before. It's just one night, and we're going to the closest state park so we can get there and back quickly. It doesn't matter...we are getting away!

2. State testing is over as of yesterday...well, not over, over. We have a relatively small group of students that will have to take the second administration in May. But the worst part is behind us, thank goodness. Being cooped up in a room with students (not even my own) for two days with no talking takes its toll...on all of us!

3. I have now run 20.2 miles since Saturday. Just 6 more to go to reach my goal of 26.2 for Boston between April 20 and April 29. Yay! Surprisingly, my legs are doing really good today. (I'm hoping to finish up with the last couple of easy miles with friends Sunday while we are camping.)

Tuesday To-Do

Making some goals for the week last week really helped, although we didn't accomplish everything. I'm ok with that. It helped me to focus on a few things instead of getting overwhelmed (which I almost did a couple of times). These are new goals. I'm not going to carry over missed goals from last week...at least not right now. The goal here is to NOT get overwhelmed :)

Goals for this week
Home
1. Sort/go through Ryan's toys
2. Clean (and keep clear) flat surfaces
3. Prep meals in advance to make sure we can eat at home

Heart
1. Buy birthday gifts for family
2. Plan Chad's birthday with the kids
3. Spend less time on Facebook and Pinterest, especially when the kids are awake

Health
1. 20 miles to finish my 26.2 for Boston
2. WOW workouts x2
3. Stretch/foam x3 (going to need it with the increased mileage)
