February Recap and March Goals

Happy Friday! It's been Friday in India for ages. I'm not saying this means I'm ahead of the curve or anything, but it at least means I've had more time to procrastinate writing/write my Friday post than usual.

The extra time definitely came in handy since I've been pretty busy working, eating tons of Indian food, and buying scarves. Told you I have a problem.


Between all that scarf buying, eating, procrastinating, and actually working, I somehow managed to remember my monthly goals. So, less than a full week into March, I'm joining in the DC Trifecta's Friday Five linkup with a recap of my February goals and five goals for March.

February Goal Recap:

1. Show up to a pick up volleyball game
I went to women's indoor 6s, coed indoor 6s, AND beach doubles drop-ins last month. *pats self on back*

2. Bike to work once a week
I did this every week except for the week I sprained my ankle, so I'm going to call it close enough to cross off. 


3. Try a new fitness class

Finally tried hot yoga and I surprisingly kind of liked it.

4. Run 35 miles
I took off a week from running with an ankle sprain and only managed to run 28 miles. I'm a little off my Run This Year goal but I can totally make it up in March. Or April. Or May...

5. Phone my friends

I did a much better job of getting some much needed voice contact by actually scheduling calls ahead of time. Organization, it works! Who knew?

March Goals:


1. Run 4+ times in India
I'm already halfway there! Is that cheating?

2. Run 35 miles
Finally going to hit my miles target this month.

3. Try a new fitness class
Any suggestions?

4. Hike inspiration point
There's a lot of beautiful hiking in Santa Barbara but I haven't gone yet. Inspiration point is supposed to be fairly easy but still satisfying, just how I like it.

5. Hang out more with new friends
I'm lucky to have 4 super fun housemates who I love to hang out with. But I should at least try to make other friends. Which means I need to be more brave/proactive this month. I really need to work on my friend game.

Q: Have any exciting plans or goals for March? Know any cures for a scarf addiction?

  1. I won a Free class of Hot Yoga in a contest last fall and never took the class. What did you think of it?

    1. I liked it! I think because it was only heated to about 95 degrees instead of 100+ like bikram, the heat felt nice instead of oppressive. You can check out my review here if you're interested: http://www.eathardworkhard.com/2014/02/workout-wednesday-power-of-your-om-hot.html

  5. I recently just admitted my scarf addiction :) It's a cheap way to totally change an outfit, how can I resist? I tried hot yoga on a 20 class pass. I have a follow up post here if you are interested. I like it, but it's a lot of money around here! http://apaceofbalance.blogspot.com/2013/12/bikram-follow-up.html

    1. Lol I know right? And, added bonus, I found that if I throw a scarf over my head nobody looks at me here. Thanks for the link, I'll definitely check out your review :)

  6. Great job with the goals! Scheduling appointments for calls has been about the only way for me to keep in touch with friends that have moved so I'm with you in that one

    1. Thanks! Yea I feel kind of weird setting "social" goals, but I figure it's like anything else I have to work at--much more likely to get done if I write it down :)
