Happy Friday! I hope that everyone has had a good week! I’m hitting the ground running with my goals for March – check them out!
First, let’s take a look at my goals from February:
Complete Marcia’s Healthy Slice Plank Challenge
Grade: A
I didn’t check in every day but I completed Marcia’s plank challenge last month. It was nice to start off most of my days with a nice 60 second plank.
Hit the 100 Orangetheory Fitness Classes Milestone
Grade: A+
This was a fun goal to hit last month!
Sign up for a race
Grade: A
I signed up for a local 5K on St. Patrick’s Day weekend. I also found a race I want to do in Philly in November. Registration doesn’t open up until the end of this month and I plan on registering š
Here are my goals for March!
PR the Orangtheory Fitness Dri Tri
I’m doing the OTF Dri Tri for the second time in 2 weeks. The Dri Tri is a 2,000 meter row, 300 bodyweight exercises and a 5K run on the treadmill, in that order. The time to beat is 56:35. Hopefully if I don’t hit the wall on the treadmill (like last time) I should be able to PR by a few minutes.
Set aside 10 minutes daily for stretching
My body often feels like a ball of knots so I think it’s time that I start to incorporate stretching into my daily routine. It’s not that this is difficult to do – I just need to stop putting it off. I think that it will hopefully help with some of the soreness I feel after OTF classes.
Focus on increasing my protein intake
One thing I actually started working on last month as being more aware of how much protein I’m eating every day. I know I need to add more protein to my diet and I’m doing it gradually.
That’s it for this month – wish me luck!
If you set monthly goals, what are your goals for March?
I’m linking up for Fridays with Fairytales and Fitness from Fairytales and Fitness.
Elaine D says
Congrats on all your achievements!!! Wow the Dri Tri sounds like a challenge -2k row, 300 bodyweight exercises and a 5K – I feel exhausted just thinking of it. Sounds like a great workout too.
kookyrunner says
It’s hard but it’s so satisfying!
Wendy says
I hope you didn’t do a 60 minute plank, lol! And if you did, you go! :p
Congrats on 100 classses! You’ve been killing the OTF. It looks like so much fun and if I wasn’t loving CF, I’d be doing it. The Rocky race sounds fun!
kookyrunner says
Hahahaha that was definitely a typo – I fixed it!
Deborah Brooks says
A couple of my friends have done the Rocky race and loved it. It’s on my birthday this year hmmm
kookyrunner says
You should do it!
The Accidental Marathoner says
I always love reading your posts about your monthly goals and how you did with them. But 60 minute planks? YOU LIE!!!!!
kookyrunner says
Hahaha that was an obvious typo, just fixed it š
Catrina says
Well done on achieving your February goals!!
That Dri Tri sounds rough! I’d be done after the 2000m row, never mind the rest!
Adding stretching into the mix sounds like a good idea.
All the best for your March goals!
kookyrunner says
Thanks so much Catrina! The Dri Tri is going to be difficult but I hope to pace myself better this time so that I can get a PR.
Marcia says
Ever since you joined OTF you’ve been killing it! My goal for March is to get more consistent with yoga. Oh man do I need it!
kookyrunner says
I should make that a goal as well – I’m super tight everywhere!
Kimberly Hatting says
Congrats on all the planking!! You know Iām a believer š Yay for stretching…something we all need to more committed to doing.
kookyrunner says
Thanks #kimtwin!
San says
Those are some good goals. What’s your approach in trying to add more protein to your diet?
kookyrunner says
I’m trying to add more lean protein and beans, with the occasional protein powder drinks.
Cari says
I really like the Beachbody app for short stretching apps. I imagine you have same through Peloton? Luckily thanks to PT I’ve been better about actually doing them
kookyrunner says
Yup, I have use many of the strength training classes on the Peloton app and I love them!
Farrah says
Great job on your goals last month and best of luck to you on this month’s! :] I need to work on doing some daily stretching!
kookyrunner says
Thanks Farrah! The daily stretching has been great for me so far.
Michelle @ Running with Attitude says
Way to go with your February goals – you crushed them!
I really like your goals for March – I really need more protein too. I’ll be interested to see what additions to your diet you make.
That Rocky Race looks like so much fun!!
kookyrunner says
Thanks Michelle! For my added protein I’ve been eating more chicken breast and using Vega protein powder after workouts. I’m not where I need to be just yet but it’s a start!
