November report card:
- Post at least one recipe a week on the blog. C 75% I posted this, this, and this. 3 out of 4. Okay, so only 1 was kind of original, the others were links to recipes I made. So, C-.
- Continue to follow my half marathon training plan so that I am physically and mentally prepared for the race on December 3rd. A+ I did it! Although it was physically and mentally challeging, I kicked that half marathon's butt!
- Complete 90% of my Christmas shopping, decoration, and wrapping. F+ Epic fail. I still have yet to buy or craft the first present. :( I'm so over Christmas. Bah Humbug!

- Stick to my budget! Eh...C? The good news: I got a raise! So I will have a teensy, tiny bit more of wiggle room in my budget.

- Cross train 3 times a week. D. I have dropped down to 2 days a week. And last week only 1, and the week of Thanksgiving only 1. Gotta get back on track so I don't gain any holiday weight!
What a disgraceful report card! An A, 2 C's, a D, and an F. This would land me on academic probation.

December goals:
-run 4 days a week, including one long run (>8 miles) and one speed run. Instead of starting from scratch for my planned March half marathon, I want to keep up my current training. I also want to get faster. Instead of 3 runs a week, I want to up it to 4 so I can get some shorter, faster runs in.
-cross train 2 days a week, and increase weights to really push myself.
-eat super clean on a daily basis, so I can splurge for holiday events. I'm not going to lie to myself or to you and say that I won't touch delicious treats floating around this time of year. (Not to mention the boozing that is guarenteed to take place!) It's inevitable, so I will just be good when it's easier to be good, like during the work week when I'm home alone.

-have a more positive attitude about the holidays and my birthday. I'll try not to have a blue Christmas, but for some reason this time of year really depresses me. Not to mention the fact that I'm turning 27. That number makes me sick to my stomach. I typed it, got nauseous, deleted it, typed it, and sighed. Where have the past 5 years gone?
Do you have any goals for December?
