We’ve got FIVE incredible co-hosts My First 5K and More, Running With Attitude, Run Laugh Eat Pie, Runs with Pugs, and me for another Fit Five Friday link-up!  

Friday is my favorite day of the week.  But, this Friday is making me a little sad.  My first day of school is in a month.  I have two days full of meetings and then the students start on the 14th.  How is this Summer going by so fast?

Here are my 5 fitness goals for the remainder of this year:

• Continue running and walking.  I am not doing a running streak but I do have a running and/or walking streak.  I’ve been doing some kind of outdoor activity since June 28th.  I hope to continue doing this during the Winter as well.

• Use the Peloton bike.  I’ve been using the bike 3x a week.  Total minutes for each class is 25 minutes which includes a warm-up and a cool down.  

• Watch what I eat.  I don’t want to use the excuse that just because I am training for a marathon that I can eat anything I want.  I’ve mentioned before that my A1C was in the pre-diabetic stage.  I am planning to get tested again in the Fall and hopefully my A1C will be lower.  

• Get enough sleep.  I need to get plenty of sleep or I don’t function well.  Plus, I get cranky if I don’t get enough sleep.

• Spend time on recovery.  My long runs are getting longer and I don’t bounce back to my bubbly self like I used to.  I ran 7 miles last Saturday and was sore the whole day.  I must remember to use my massage gun everyday.

The topic for next week – 5 favorite race photos.  Feel free to write about this or any fitness topic you’d like.  We hope you’ll link up with us!
