Well.. I hit all of my goals for July which is awesome for me. Here's a list of what I would like to accomplish for August!

1) Accumulate atleast 45 miles by the end of August

2) Run a second 5k

3) Ride 15 miles a week on bike

4) Start strength training

5) Wake up 1/2 hour earlier to walk dog every day (I've really been slacking since I got a fence!)

6) Lose additional 5 lbs to bring me to 157

I'd like to tag along, if I may ... I did my own goals for July, inspired by this thread - I did great for the first two weeks and then was overcome by exhaustion due to getting up at 4:30 every morning - I'm hoping to get back on track with the goals below:

1: Work out at least 5x per week. I would like at least 4 to be running as a whole, but I had a rest week last week and I'm working up slowly, so will include running, biking and strength in my weekly goal. (Ex: This week I'm hoping to run 2x, bike 2x, 1 strength)

2: Write every day for at least one hour (I'll give myself 2 days off in case of emergency)

3: Eat fruit at least 3x per day - veggies are easy for me, but I usually use fruit as a snack and sometimes forget about it.

4: Apply for at least one job every week.

5: Continue getting up earlier (pre 7 am) on weekends - this was one of the goals that I completed for July.

Sorry this was so long - good luck to all!

Peg,

What a good goal... morning runs are hard for me, but would be easier if I got them out of the way sometimes... It would be hard to take the dog on a morning run before I go to work since she needs time to cool off with water... I will have to try it though!

good luck with quitting smoking!
