December weekly plans/check-ins

[semielliptical]

Hey there! I had said I would manage a challenge for December. Due to end of year busy times, this will be a low-key weekly accountability post, similar to October, asking folks to check in with plans and then accomplishments once a week.

If you're not taking an end of the year break, what are your plans for this week?

My goal for the week: 20 miles.

My goal for the month is at least 55 miles, which will let me reach 1000 miles for the year, and I expect to run less later in the month.

I'm getting back into shape for two spring half marathons, one of which will be converted to a full when i decide which one.

My goal for the month is to run four three times per week. I'm not giving a mileage goal because that is at the moment too stressful for me.

(also, sorry that I hadn't realized sooner that you were already doing the December challenge!)

No worries! I was late in getting a post up about the December challenge.

I am rehabbing after childbirth, so my plans at this point include (1) do your damn kegels and core exercises; (2) run some, walk some; and (3) do not get the apparently required post partum running injury, but since you're going to anyway, make it a minor one.

[semielliptical]

Sounds like a very reasonable plan to me. May your post partum injury be as small as a paper cut!

Hi there... actually, I am taking an end of year beak, or rather I'm running wirhout a goal for the next two weeks because they will be taken up with getting everything done enough work-wise so that I can leave on vacation for the rest of the month with a clear conscience.

And so running will be a relaxing exercise for me rather than another potential stressor :)

... all of which means that my plan is to go running in about half an hour, and that's about as far as my plan extends at the moment!

[semielliptical]

Sounds like a good time to not focus on goals. Hope today's run was relaxing!

I hope to go for four runs, totalling at least 17 km.

I am going to be running some trail this weekend, so I'm not sure what the mileage is going to be, but I do want to do about 20-25 miles a week.

My goal is to continue to progress with my gorram PT exercising, rebuilding my rotator cuff and core conditioning, so my physical therapist will clear me to run again on January 1st. My current schedule of exercises has me doing about 75 minutes of hard work every day, so that's keeping me active, at least. My goal is daily shoulder/core work + three sessions on the elliptical machine (without the arm motion).

I also have a goal of getting a xmas tree installed at home WITHOUT re-injuring my shoulder.

(sorry, I sound really grumpy here. It's been a painful day.)

I am continuing to take an end-of-year break, not of my own volition, and not happily.
