January was not a pretty month – between one sick kid, being sick, a pulled pec muscle and the havoc wreaked on my running thanks to the Polar Vortex and the snow days and bitter cold that came with it – to say I was D-O-N-E with January would be an understatement!
So I’m skipping my usual monthly rewind and just saying Hello February!
Got the month off to a good start on Saturday with a 6+ mile run…wait for it…outdoors in 40 degree weather! (cue the choir!) You could not wipe the smile from my face and I swear every runner I passed seem to be grinning like a fool 🙂 Sunday was even warmer but we had a busy day planned and, as much as I wanted to, squeezing in another run just wasn’t possible.
So what’s up for this month?
— Finish base-building phase
— Weekly yoga classes
— First two races of the year (a 5K and a 10K)
— And yes, the #FFBurpee 1000 Burpee Challenge as part of my weekly strength training
It should be a very busy 28 days!
What do you have planned for February? How was your January?
ouch! Sorry January was so rough for you! That means February will be much better than it would have been otherwise, and you will appreciate it so much more! You persisted through, and your feb recap will be much better 🙂
I am back into my heavy training stage, around 75 miles. Feeling good, and enjoying my running….other than the treadmill runs I have had to do….and will again today! Looking to race soon!
Yea Tina sounds like you’re off to a good start! Hope it continues and thanks for the good words 🙂
Press the reset button for sure! January was ok for me. I rekindled my relationship with the mill, I didn’t get injured and I’m still hitting up the gym for strength training so it’s all good.
This weekend was GORGEOUS (for winter LOL). We spent the day in Boston and it was awesome. I couldn’t believe how warm Sunday was either. And now we’re being doused in snow…Mother Nature is mean.
I agree, sayonara January! I’ll be in Newport for the Night Run. Are you doing it?
I so wanted to do the Night Run but couldn’t make it work. I’ll be at my son’s hockey game instead 😉
My January sounds similar to yours…sickness and cold weather, yuck! I am excited about getting a coach, and we’ll begin this month!
That’s exciting! Working with a coach made such a difference for me! Good luck!
