Back in August I made a list of the goals I wanted to achieve (or at least attempt) for the remainder of 2010. I wrote them all out in individual monthly post and saved them as Drafts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Imagine my surprise when I opened October’s draft and read this:<\/p>\n

\n

1. Plan my\u00a0running\u00a0schedule for 2011. 15k? Half Marathon? Triathlon?<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Start a consistent weight training routine and stick to it!<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Lose 3 pounds.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Take a Spin Class.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Interesting! I was sort of forced to start a weight training program and as a result, I HAVE lost 3 pounds! Funny how the Universe works.<\/p>\n

In light of my recent injury, my goals have shifted. My new goals for the next five weeks are:<\/p>\n

My New Goals:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Follow the doctor’s Return to Running Plan.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Do the strengthening exercises my doctor gave me.<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Continue my weight training routine – focusing on my arms and core.<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. Lose 2 pounds.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think they are realistic goals. They are goals I need to be focusing on. I hope that the November weigh-in has another happy surprise for me but if I simply maintain what I’ve lost so far I’ll be happy.<\/p>\n

I know it’s a bit late to be posting October Goals–half way through the month–but there ya go.<\/p>\n

QUESTION: What were your goals for October and how are you doing with them?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Dinner last night after the gym was really pretty good for being leftovers. I had leftover rice and wanted to eat up the last of the Trader Joe’s Chicken Shu Mai.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Brown rice, shu mai and sriracha sauce, with a little bit of soy sauce.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>A little bit of that sriracha sauce goes a long way for me. Usually rice isn’t that great as a leftover, but substituting chicken broth instead of water made it really moist.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I made a salad with some Light Thousand Island dressing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lastly, check out Amber’s recap on running the Portland Marathon<\/a> this weekend!<\/p>\n
