Some New Goals

Only two months left in 2014 – can you believe it?!

With no race now in my immediate future, my plan is to use this time to get stronger, run for fun and keep tweaking my nutrition so I can put this anemia in the rearview mirror.

Goals for this month:

T25 Program — I bought the program back in the spring and have used it in spurts but could never quite figure out how to make it mesh with my training plan and higher mileage. Since I’m going sans-plan for a bit, I thought now would be a great time to start the program. Β It’s 10 weeks long so it will carry me nicely into the first week of the new year!

#NovemberMileage Challenge — I’m joining Erika (aka MCM Mama) for her mileage challenge. You can pick your mileage goal and I’m aiming for 50. I figure this will be a comfortable goal while Β helping me make sure my running doesn’t fall off too much.

Focus on Iron-rich Foods — I will continue to focus on adding iron-rich foods to my diet.

What have you got planned for November?

  1. Good plan, Michelle! I like the idea of 10 weeks of good strength work before the new year. It should set you up nicely for 2015!

  5. Love T25!! I did it after I took a break from running and will most likely do it after I finish all my races this month! I’ve got a 10K on Saturday and the Philly Half, along with a 5K Turkey trot for November. πŸ™‚

  7. Sounds like a solid plan Michelle! I think it wouldn’t hurt if I took a look at those iron-rich foods too….it’s so easy to overlook! Scary that 10 weeks from now will be 2015, how did that happen?

  8. I have heard great things about the T25 program but have never tried it. I have the Insanity which I hate ( just bc it’s hard) though this may be just as hard it is also shorter so maybe I should try this one.

  10. Those sound like great goals. I’m taking it easy on the running the next few months as well and plan on focusing on strength training. I have T25 too, and was inconsistent for the same reasons you mentioned…maybe it’s time to break it out again!!

  11. Allan and I need to get back to doing T25. It’s intense and honestly feels like the longest 25 minutes ever but it’s a great workout!
