Say it, Do it! {sleep & a success story }

Let’s start this week off with a SIDI success!

@fitchicknyc Ran the Toronto half marathon today! Never in my life did I think this day would even exist! But it did today!! #sayitdoit

Congratulations to Neesha who set a goal, said it out loud, and did it!

How has SIDI impacted your workouts, health, fitness or running goals goals? Share in the comment section today!

 

On a personal level, last week’s SIDI really helped me put my focus where it needs to be. I continued to read about training my mind and though this will continue to be a focus, a week in and I already can tell a difference.

My long run on Saturday went much better than they have previously. I relaxed into the mileage, ran a route that I knew would work for me and enjoyed it.

All this time spent working on my mental game, has really gotten me thinking about my goals for this upcoming marathon. I’ve realized they might need some revision.

In the meanwhile since getting my workouts in doesn’t seem to be my biggest challenge. For now, my SIDI goal for the week is simple:

Focus on getting quality sleep and establishing a more consistent bed time.

What are your SIDI it goals for the week? Let me know what workouts you have planned or what your focus will be for the week. I swear putting it out there, really helps!

    Putting it out there is a HUGE help. And I need to focus on the same thing! Despite being exhausted Sunday night, I still stayed up until midnight to watch Mad Men and another episode of Friday Night Lights.

    I’m so with you on the sleep. I do theatre on the side which means late rehearsals. I just wrapped up a two month stint of very little sleep. It really wreaked havoc on my workouts.

    I can relate, I need to try to focus on the same thing. I just end up distracted!
