I was trying to change the format of my blog on here, and it wasn't working. I'll try again another day. For now, have fun with this typical format.
GOALS!
I have changed so much from when I first started this blog... from when I first started going to the gym!
I am so much stronger, healthier. I am happy.
Anyways, I'll split my goals into 3 categories: Running, Lifting and Food/Health (gulp...).
Running Goals:
1. Run a marathon! I have run a half, and I am ready to train for the full! I am running a 30k first in (April?). I should probably look up the date. I signed up for it. MARCH 24th. WHAT THE WHAT. Oh god. I need to go run brb. Jk. But seriously, that's intense! PROOF: http://www.eventsonline.ca/events/atbrr/confirm.htm LOOK HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE RUNNING IT!! There's a max of 8,500 people. They have not reached that. Yep. I am going to be indistinguishable. Largest run ever! Anyways... I want to run a Marathon. Maybe the TO one if I sign up...
2. Not get injured. I injured myself 3 times last year. I need to pace myself in my training, not push myself, and wear proper shoes. AND STRETCH! I will try not to injure myself.
3. This is a conditional one. If there is track and field, I will sign up, and do the 3000m (It's the longest race). 3k. It simple, it's just I have to work on my SPEED. I hate speed work. 5k training for cross country was a b*tch.
Lifting Goals:
1. I want to gain approx 11lbs of muscle to weigh 130lbs. I don't think this is too realistic, but I will definately aim for it. I am going to lift until I die. Jk. Okay but seriously, I want to gain muscle.
2. Move past 180lbs in my reverse leg press. I can barely do 180 as it is, right now. Some leg presses I can do like almost 300lbs, but the one that is on a tilt and you are pushing your legs over your head is a bitch.
3. Bicep curl to reach 25lbs.
4. Tricep pull down to reach 30 lbs.
5. Train my forearms, I always forget to.
Food/Health Goals:
1. Drink at least 750mL of water a day. I don't think this is as much as you are supposed to, but I don't even drink that, somedays.
2. Stretch after I workout, especially on leg day and after running.
3. Drink no more than 2 cups of coffee a day. I've been drinking 3. Coffee and caffeine have pros and cons to them. I hate when people tell me it is so bad for me, it really isn't. I actually drink coffee to caffeine load for running. Although, it also dehydrates you, so I drink more water when I caffeine load.
4. Eat enough. This sounds bad. Somedays I don't eat enough for my lifestyle. I eat pretty much the "bare minimum" on most, average days. I should be eating a lot more, as I have learned in exercise science. I probably get 1200-1800 calories a day. I should be getting like 1800-2500 for my lifestyle. Whoops. Somedays I get more than enough, but that is usually when I have junk food (which doesn't happen too often).
5. Eat more green vegetables.
6. Eat more "holistic like" foods. Things like ginger and green tea, that are good for cleansing your body. I don't get enough of that stuff. It helps my metabolism and stuff.
So yeah. Those are my goals.
I better get going, there is a candle on the other side of my room, and I am almost sure the flame is going to drown in its melted wax... it's been burning for a few hours.
