June Goals: The Ultimate Coffee Date

June 6, 2015 By: Courtney @ Eat Pray Run DC25 Comments

Happy June! I can not believe this is the first Saturday in the month. Time is just flying by, y’all! Anyway, let’s take a look at my May goals and assess how I did and then examine my goals for June. I am also linking up with Coco, Deborah, and Lynda for the Ultimate Coffee Date (tea for me, please). This week, if we were having tea, I’d tell you how I did on my goals for May and all about the goals I’m setting for June. Let’s dig in!

June Goals

These were my goals for the month of May: 

  • Increase my prayer time. I usually read a devotional each morning and spend some time reflecting. I’d like to continue that reflection for a bit extra time in the morning and bring out my journal in case I want to make notes. I want this to be a habit and not something I’m just doing out of routine. 
  • Work speed work back into my training. I did my first speed workout in months last week and it was hard. BUT, it’s necessary and I am going to start working speed work back in. 
  • Commit to doing my PT four times a week. I’m really going to get on this during May. I only have one major exercise to focus on and I’m focusing on doing it once in the morning and once in the evening. 

I am going to give myself a B+ for May. I have increased my prayer time and that’s been wonderful. I’ve also been really good about doing my PT regularly. However, I actually backed off on speed work and mainly just did some fartleks here and there. I feel okay about that though because speed work in earnest starts in just under two weeks! 

Goals for June: 

  • Continue working on budgeting. K and I are trying to substantially pay down our consumer debt and it’s been working but at this mid-point in the year, I want to make sure we are staying on track. 
  • Connect with family intentionally. My parents always give me grief about not calling / visiting enough and I know I need to do a better job about that. I’m really fortunate to have wonderful parents whom I have a fantastic relationship with so I need to not take that for granted. 
  • Run every day. I have committed to the Runner’s World Run Streak and so far, it’s going well. The streak goes through July 4th, so if I can make it through the rest of June, I’ll be in good shape!

Thanks again to the lovely Coco, Deborah and Lynda for hosting!

    Glad to hear you enjoying your run streak. I’ve never done that. I don’t think my body likes to run everyday. I also need to do my pt exercises more. It’s easy to put them off. Thanks for linking up with us for coffee & tea 🙂

    My body complains a lot anytime I’ve tried to run multiple days in a row too. I do best when I run 3, maybe 4, days a week so I always have a day off in between. I’m always amazed by those of you who do #runstreak stuff!

      I have to say the key is running the mile REALLY easy! Then, it’s not bad 🙂

    Great goals for June, and fully agree about connecting with family. Its so important and sometime life gets gets so busy, we forget. Running streak is not for me. With age, my body just doesn’t do well with too much running. My June / July goal is 2 times a week, to work up to 3 in August and Sept, before marathon training starts in october. Have a great weekend.

    i am with you on needing to be better about budgeting! That’s a great goal for June. And way to go on the PT exercises. I’ve been slacking on those a bit but have to remember to keep them in the routine.

      It HAS to be intentional or else it doesn’t happen.

    Congrats on your May goals! And good luck on your running streak 🙂 I admire the people who are able to do it. I hurt myself when I first started running by running too much, so now I try to keep my running days to 3-4 per week and cross train on the other days.

    It sounds like you are plugging along at your goals nicely. Budgeting is something we are working on as well (since I bought my new car). It’s certainly something you have to be really dedicated and focused too.

    As I said before, injure myself too easily to do a running streak but I admire people that arable to complete them!

      It’s harder to budget as a married couple than it was when I was single before! I’m hopeful I can make it through the run streak but if something starts to feel off, I will definitely call it.

    It is nice that you have a great relationship with your parents. It’s crazy to me that some people don’t, because my parents are two of my best friends!

    I hope you’re enjoying the RunStreak! I’m not participating this go-round…I think it works best when you can mix up your route a little bit, as my shins didn’t appreciate the daily sidewalk pounding!

    B+ isn’t bad at all for your May goals. I’m sure you’ll get what you need done this month!

    Good luck with your June goals. I can relate to the feelings about connecting with family. I don’t live near any of my family so it is so important to carve out the time for those relationships. Good luck on the running streak! Hope it goes well
