Move/make: Week 15

Weight (as of Monday afternoon): 172.2 pounds. 

Workouts:
Monday: Ran 30 minutes
Tuesday: Off
Wednesday: Ran 37 minutes (Fourth of July 5K)
Thursday: Off
Friday: Ran 37 minutes
Saturday: Ran 37 minutes
Sunday: Off 

Thoughts on food:
A little healthier than last week. I've been eating more fruit, less take-out. I had grilled fish and vegetables for the Fourth, and I even helped cook. Ate out twice (Thai and Chinese). Overall, not too bad. 

Overall reflections:
Last week was terribly hot all week (upper 90s and low 100s), so it was hard to get outdoors very much. My runs on Friday and Saturday took a while, since I stopped every 10 minutes or so to drink water and rest in the shade. Even so, they took a lot out of me. But being in constant air-conditioning meant that I couldn't stomach being stuck inside at the gym, either. 

Thanks to the holiday, I had a long weekend that I got to spend with some of my favorite people. My weekends have been great this summer. 

Goals:
The only thing I did from last week's goals was to run the 5K successfully. I didn't stop once, because I knew I wouldn't be able to get going again. It was hotter than hot at 8 a.m. I did fit in a long bike ride (20 miles), but I did that today, so it doesn't count toward last week.

For the rest of this week, I want to:
  • Work out a total of 5 days.
  • Go to the gym at least once.
  • FINALLY tackle the two major things on my to-do list: Finish my CV and apply for jobs.  
  • Do a 25-mile bike ride for charity.
This weekend will be busy again, and though that's a good thing, it means I need to be good about getting things done this week.
