October

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.
