With the excitement of completing a lot of my July goals behind me, August is a new month! A lot of my goals for August are things that I have been hoping to complete at some point over the past few months, but have just put on the back burner. Lately, I’ve been really “goal-focused”, which is great!
Fitness
- Run a 5K in under 30 minutes during a race. I have two races scheduled for this month. (BTW: you can view my race schedule on the side bar). I hope to beat the heat and finally complete this goal!
- Run 15 mile weeks until half marathon training begins and get back to weight training at least 1x a week. The majority of this month, minus the last week, will be spent setting up a base for myself before my training really starts. I plan to continue my 15 miles/week to push myself for longer runs on the weekends and less runs during the week.
- Purchase a Garmin 405. Yes, yes, yes. You know it’s on my training wishlist and I talk about it on the blog at least once a month, but I really hope to finally push myself to purchase it this month. With the refund check of the terrible Clarisonic finally in my bank account, I have the extra spending money for it!
Personal
- Organize my important documents into my own filing cabinet. Currently, a lot of my documents are in Bryan’s lock box; however, I want my own so I can color code it the way I want. Haha, control freak/OCD much?
- Really start taking time to develop a small business project that I may want to start. More details on this to come maybe.
- Cut down my iced coffee addiction and supplement it with water! Much needed. I’m addicted.
Blogging
- Start a Youtube account for the blog. I had a beauty youtube account that I used for all of about 6 months, but never felt super passionate about keeping up with it. I hope to develop an account to be used to supplement Simply Nicole and focus more on healthy living, running, fitness, and healthy recipes.
- Update my media kit pronto!
- Update my Favorites page.
