The Weekly Chase: New and Past Goals

Sunday's plank a day- 1:00
Today's Plank a day- Ladder Plank

Yesterday I unplugged from the internet and enjoyed a day with family and friends.  We went to my best friend Rhonda's house for a birthday party.  Her niece and my friend Christy's little girl was having her first birthday party!  Look how cute she is!

She LOVED her smash cake!!!

I almost forgot about my plank a day yesterday since I was so busy!  But I remembered and did it really quick in the privacy of Rhonda's bedroom!!!  Lol!  She's gonna laugh when she reads this!!!  Hey I got it done so that's all that matters!!!  :-)

It's time for another Weekly Chase!!!  I look forward to this every week!  I'm so glad Melissa at Live, Love, and Run started the Weekly Chase!  It's so awesome getting so much encouragement and support from all the other bloggers participating!



Here are my goals from last week:

• Get all of my scheduled runs/workouts in for the week.
• Do my Bible devotion EVERY day.

How did I do?  As you know, last week was super busy for me due to teaching at Vacation Bible School every night.  So I knew going into it that these goals would be a challenge.  I DID get all of my scheduled runs in but failed to do the strength training.  It was just too hard for me to get to the gym.  I have to go when my hubby is home to watch the boys since my gym doesn't have child care.  And with me gone every night...there just wasn't a time for me to get it in.  And my hubby had to work all day and part of the night Saturday night so that didn't work.  And yesterday, we had church and then went to the birthday party and didn't get home until 9:30PM.  Excuses, excuses I know!  

I didn't do my Bible devotion EVERY day but I only missed ONE day!  So i'm pretty proud of that!  And one of my sweat pink sisters, Molly has become my accountability partner for Bible reading!  So we have texted each other and will hold each other accountable for our reading!  That really helped me get it done this week...knowing Molly and YOU my readers are holding me accountable!  
So since my goals for last week were not 100% successful I am going to keep working on them this week!  

Goal #1: Get all of my scheduled runs/workouts in for the week.  Here's the plan for this week:

• Two short runs (3-4 miles each) and a 5 mile long run
• Two strength training workouts (hopefully three)
• Continue plank a day

Goal #2: Do my Bible devotion EVERY day.  And I mean EVERY day!  I'm not gonna skip a day this week!  And Molly I expect you to hassle me about it if ya have to!  :-)

Goal #3: Do a plank ladder a day. I need some variation in my planks.  Holly at Running and Baking, Oh My has inspired me to do these!  Ladder planks are where you hold a plank for 30 seconds, then 40, then 50, then 60, then 60, 50, 40, and 30 with 30 second breaks in between each one.  So you are planking for about 6 minutes!!!  It's gonna be a challenge for sure!  Strong abs and core here I come!!!

So there are the goals I'm chasing for this week!
