Monthly Review

How was everyone's month? I hope you have been doing well, but if not, keep at it. I would love to hear your stories and what is working and what challenges you are having. Please post them so we can all share how we are doing. Even if you are in tip-top shape (hmm, Dallin & Darin) please share what you are doing to look so good. You two are such an inspiration!

I wanted to post my results for January and my February goals so I can be motivated to keep going. I loved the running challenge that I did over the holidays (mid-November to New Years) by running a marathon's worth of miles during the break. Check! I reached my goal and I think a little bit more. So that was great and I lost weight over the holidays (3 pounds to be exact). In January I challenged myself to do this same amount of miles in less time. Check! I ran 27 miles during the month of January. And now, I have to go buy some new jeans, because mine don't fit anymore. Dang it!

So February is much of the same, but I am raising the mileage. I am going to try and do 30 miles by the end of the month. That is more miles and less month. I will have to work a bit harder, I'm afraid! Also, I am committing to 3 races in the upcoming year: a 5k in March, a 10k in May and a 1/2 marathon in November. Can you say crazy? Oh it would be such a day if I could do such a challenge.

Here's hoping you have a great February. Give yourself some love this month by making health and fitness a higher priority.
