That whooshing sound you hear is January flying out the door! Seriously what a whirlwind this month was! I definitely hit a couple of speedbumps that kept me from having as strong a start as I wanted…so I’m more than ready to say buh bye to January and to make February fabulous! But first, a quick monthly recap:
Good things for the month:
- Winter Challenge completed! By the time you read this I will have logged my final miles for the Winter Challenge – 31 days of outdoor mileage done…pretty good for this self proclaimed non-streaker!
- Stayed on track with my strength training, logging at least two workouts per week, and then threw in the 10 x 10 plank challenge for the final 10 days of the month for a little extra push.
- Selected as a SPIbelt Ambassador for a second year!
Things I could do without:
- Got hit with a nasty cold the very first week – blech
- Bounced back from the cold, only a week later to slip during a rainy run that left me unable to run for the better part of a week 🙁
- (they say bad things come in 3s, but I’m going to stay positive…)
On the decks for February:
- More miles – right the ship on my training and get back to work. The NYC Half is less than 2 months away, and while it’s not my goal race, I would like to have a decent run – which means I’ve got to get in some longer runs and some hill work.
- Run the Old-fashioned 10 Miler on 2/19
- Get back to good habits – namely, get more sleep and clean up my eating habits…there’s been way too much late afternoon grazing!
How was your January?
I’m linking up with Erika, Marcia and Patty for this week’s Tuesday on the Run – the topic this week is grading your month.
