Question of the Day
Mickey is someone we all have known our entire lives. We know his history.
Please introduce yourself for those new people and tell us your goals for the month.
Hello everyone - welcome to August! I can't believe we're in the 8th month of the year and the Olympics are almost here!
(Side note: I'm really excited for the Olympics this year because they're in RIO and I have a hunch the opening ceremony on Friday will be beautiful with all of the costumes and festivities. Plus, OLYMPICS.).
I'm Courtney
I've been included in these challenges for a year now and they're great for accountability. If you're on the fence about joining - please join! You'll be amazed at how a support group can really keep you motivated to reach your goal. My goals over the last year have changed a bit - I've reached my goal weight and am in maintenance mode. Went from 215 pounds to a happy 140 and now am running half marathons! I'm located in Southern California - about 15 minutes from
Disneyland... so you can guess what we do in our spare time?
Goal: Accomplish 3 workouts of at least 30 minutes per week.
Obstacles: There aren't any half marathons this month, so I need to use this month to prepare myself for the Dumbo Double Dare runDisney challenge for Labor Day weekend. It's hot. It's summer. And So Cal has been unusually humid this summer so it feels uncomfortable to run in this.
How I'll overcome: I signed up for the Hogwarts Running Club events and I haven't completed any of them this year.... so this will be my motivation. I have to accomplish 3 5Ks, 1 6K, 1 10K, 1 13K, and 1 half marathon. I am going to use my training runs as a means to finally finish these events and earn my bling
(More than likely, the half marathon will be split into 2, 10K runs so that I'm not running until 11pm after work
)
