1. Organize my fitness clothes: Done! I bought a new chest of drawers from Ikea and set it up in my spare room. Now my fitness wardrobe is neat, organized, and all in one place. I'll be doing a separate post about it, but here's a sneak peek.

2. Save for a new Garmin: In progress. I paid off my credit card, which was the first step. Now I just need to start putting money away for it.
3. Switch to weight machines from free weights: Done! I've been going to the gym at lunch, but I will admit that some days I'm so busy at work that I can't take the time to go. On those days I just do strength training in my home gym.
4. Get a cover-up tattoo: Does the Oiselle temp tattoo I got with my last order count? This will definitely be my hardest goal to meet. I hate my awful tattoo I got when I was 18 and really want to cover it up with a better one...but the last thing I want to do is get a tattoo. I'll try to force myself to call the tattoo place for an appointment in the next month. Gulp.
5. Indulge--a little: Done! What I meant by "indulge" is that I can easily let my running and workouts take precedence over everything else in my life. As a result, I'll go to bed at 9 p.m. on weekend nights before a long run or skip invites from friends if I have to run the next morning. Since I've been in between training plans, it's been easy to loosen up a little. I really wanted to continue my run streak after it officially ended on July 4, but my husband and I were spending the weekend away, so I decided to spend the time with him instead of running. And recently, I've been spending more time biking with my husband than running. With my half-marathon training starting next week, I think it will become more challenging to have late nights sipping cocktails on our patio when I know I have a long run scheduled the next day, but I'll need to find a way to balance it all.
