It’s time to check in and see how I did on July’s goals.

*SPOILER ALERT: I did not do well.*

Here’s what I wanted to accomplish this last month …

1) Make more of an effort to do strength training for my back. Did I do this? Nope. I worked my upper body hard this month … but very rarely did I concentrate on my back. I could probably beat you in an arm wrestle, though.

2) Drink more water. Did I do this? Nope. Honestly … I probably drank less. I’ve been on the road a lot lately for work stuff, and forget to pack a water bottle 9/10 times. I more than failed this goal.

3) Run 7K on the treadmill. Did I do this? Nope. I did lots of short runs this month. My new thing is running a mile or two on an incline (around a level 3) before getting into my daily workout. It’s a great little cardio burst – my blood gets pumping!! But long runs? They didn’t happen in July.

So … I did freaking terrible not so great this month.

But hey. These things happen! I’m going to accomplish these three same goals this month. Mark my words. Come on August!

Are you making goals for this month?
