Say It, Do It December Style

Just like that, November is over and it’s time to enjoy my favorite month of the year! This month is going to be one big whirlwind but I’m super excited already!

  • December 1st: OUC Half Marathon and Bachelorette weekend down in Orlando Check! (Per the above pic of me and Mary heading towards the finish, it was a great success and a lot of fun!)
  • December 8th: NYRR Jingle Bell Jog 4 miler and Our 3rd Annual Tacky Holiday Party
  • December 11th-13th: PADI Scuba training in the evening
  • December 15th: NYRR 15K
  • December 18th: Vermont
  • December 27th: St Croix

In order to kick off my 29th year in the best way possible, I thought it’d be fun to get back in the habit of doing Say It, Do It. Jes features this on her blog each week and it’s a great way to put weekly, attainable goals out for others to see and keep me motivated all week long.

Here are my workout plans for the week along with 2 goals for the week to keep me motivated!

  • Monday: Michelle’s Uplift Workit Circuit with Melissa
  • Tuesday: Heavy lifting personal training session + evening speed workout in Central Park with my work run club
  • Wednesday: Relaxed morning run with Theodora
  • Thursday: PM run with work run club
  • Friday: Fitness video shoot + yoga
  • Saturday: NYRR Holiday 4 miler
  • Sunday: rest

Goals for the week:

  • Set a new PR on Saturday during the NYRR Jingle Bell Jog 4 miler with Bo’s help
  • Focus on clean eating Monday through Saturday afternoon

Maybe I can also get a better race picture on Saturday as this one from last year’s race is pretty rough!

Your turn: What are your fitness goals this week?

Say It Do It: Round 2

Wow, I can’t believe it’s already 10:45pm! This has been a Monday unlike any other. Here’s my day so far in bullet points.

  • I slept until 7:45am since my body was still clearly exhausted from our busy weekend in Atlanta!
  • I did my weekly grocery shopping at Duane Reade this morning when I saw their oatmeal sale sign! I left a few minutes later with 5 bananas, a canister of oats, apples, and a fresh pack of gum! I’m loving the redesigned Duane Reade shopping experience! They merge my favorite parts of the drugstore with all my grocery needs and happen to be located right across from my office!

  • Bo and I met at the subway at 6:15 so we could make it to the gym by 7pm. The evening gym experience was far different from my morning routine. I had to wait 2 minutes for a treadmill and then spent my run watching Entertainment Tonight and gawking at the number of people crammed into our New York City sized gym. It was a humid and hot sweatbox tonight! But, I slammed out an awesome 5k run in 29:10 in preparation for tomorrow’s NYRR Wall Street 5k!
  • Bo and I then enjoyed our first ever weeknight movie date! We bought dinner from Pret and snuck it into the theatre before enjoying the 8pm showing of Bridesmaids. Overall, I’d give the movie a B. It was definitely entertaining but some of the jokes were too long and at times the main characters life was a bit painful to watch. But, in the end we laughed and it was a great way to start the week.

 

Now, in Fit Chick in the City style, I want to share this week’s workout plans in order to help myself stay accountable. I know this week is going to be a busy one with two special events, one work event, and a trip to Philadelphia for Leslie’s big day.

Sunday- Physique 57 Arms+Abs DVD

Monday- evening 5k run on the treadmill+abs
Tuesday- AM Physique 57 Arms+Abs DVD+ NYRR Wall Street 5k in the evening
