I really dislike April! I think that out the three lovely Spring months that we get every year, April is the red headed step-child. For a few days it is warm and beautiful and then gradually each day it gets colder and colder and then it gradually warms up again. Then we get these awful overcast mornings that make you freeze in your new Spring outfit that you MUST wear because you know that it will be warm later in the day. I REALLY DISLIKE APRIL! Therefore, I feel like April is the reason that I have been so lazy. I actually was lazy in March too, but I think it's because I sensed April was coming. It's amazing how lazy I have been! I had one whole week off for Spring break and I didn't do anything productive! I felt guilty about being lazy, but that didn't stop me from actually doing something about it. I also have gotten so lazy with going to the gym and training for the half-marathon in September. This is a huge problem because even though I have 19 and a half weeks until this crazy run, I am not even close to being ready. So, I have decided that enough is enough! It's time to start movin' and groovin'! I am going to start posting monthly goals to prepare for this baby and I'm expecting you (my four wonderful followers) to hold me accountable! I will start the monthly goals at the beginning of May (because I'm OCD and you can't start monthly goals in the middle of a month), but until then here are my goals for the next two weeks of April.
Goals for April
1. Walk/ Run 6 miles per week
2. Buy new running shoes- this is looooong overdue
3. Read Running for Women book by Kara Goucher
4. Strength training 3 times a week
