Hello October! You've
entered with the chill and the rain, and now I'm thinking about fall
things...like Cabernet, Cafe LeMonde chicken curry soup, and seasonal
lattes.
I didn't hit all my September goals, but I did make progress on every one of them.
1. Four blog posts: I did three, including last month's COA post.
2. Four yoga classes: Also did three of these. Girls on the Run practice 2x/week + Saturday training runs for a half marathon makes it hard to get to yoga this time of year.
3. Four sessions of the 7 min HIIT (high intensity interval training) workout: I did this workout twice, two rounds each time. So this was a success! Pro tip, there's an app you can download that will do the timing for you. Also~this workout is hotel-room approved.
4. 4 sessions of 10 minute meditation: I guess 3 was my magic number this month as I did three sessions here, too.
5. Finish Broadway Bridge half marathon (faster than St. Louis GO/2:27:20) > Success! I wasn't thrilled with my time, but it was about 3 minutes faster than the one I did in St. Louis in April.
6. Do calf/ankle exercise 'homework' from the chiropractor > I'd say I've been 80-90% compliant with this. He keeps adding new exercises every time I go, so now I have four different ones I am supposed to do, 3 sets of each per day.
October goals:
1. Four blog posts (again)
2. Four yoga/meditation sessions (savasana is like a mini-meditation, so I'm combining these two goals)
3. Finish KC Half Marathon - faster than the Broadway Bridge half
4. Continue doing chiro exercises all month
5. Clean garage
6. Take crap to Goodwill (related to #5, obvs)

7.
Read 2 books (the one I'm reading now + another one)
8. Be less sensitive at work. This is a hard one to measure subjectively so I'm just going to put the idea out there. The last month at work I've had a few instances where I felt slighted/talked down to - so I need to be less sensitive and maintain my assertiveness.
