Each month, in partnership with Premier Protein, I share my goals, the extra X I hope to accomplish in the month ahead. Thanks to proper nutrition, getting the right amount of protein in my diet and healthy habits, I’m able to accomplish something extra each month. This month the extra X is all about enjoying my last month in NYC. I created an NYC to-do list (honestly, it’s 90% places to eat) and I’m down the final 3o days!
In addition to checking out NYC places I’ve never been and visiting some of my favorites one more time, I also am trying to see as many friends as possible before the move west. While enjoying New York City and prepping for the move, I need to stay on top of my workouts and training for the Brooklyn Half Marathon.
Speaking of the Brooklyn Half, let’s chat training. My big accomplishment of the weekend was completing an 11 mile run. My training hasn’t followed the schedule I created perfectly but I made up for a few skipped runs this week, making me feel like I’m on track for the race.
My run felt shaky at first. I considered cutting it short around 5 miles but found my groove about halfway through. It’s always good to remember that it can take longer than you expect to find your stride, keep those legs moving and you’ll get through the miles.
There are three weeks left until race day and I’m getting excited to race Brooklyn and enjoy Coney Island post-race with running friends.
This week’s workout plan:
- Monday: Teach cycling, 2 mile run
- Tuesday: SoulCycle with coworkers
- Wednesday: Teach cycling
- Thursday: Tone House
- Friday: 9 mile run
- Saturday: Conditioning class
- Sunday: Yoga
For the next month I’ll keep you posted on the final weeks of training and my NYC to-do list. Do you have a New York bucket list? What’s on yours?
