I have not updated this blog much this year or recorded my workouts. In December I did the 12 days of Christmas challenge where I ran 12 days straight adding a mile each day. Some of those days I walked. If I gained anything out of it, I learned to love walking with Rob even if I'm mostly walking behind him. He has such a long stride. I learned to appreciate the trails even within my own neighborhood. And the challenge kept me grounded mentally because I am finding December is a hard month for me. That has been a pattern the last few years. I always feel better after New Years.
I had thought about doing a half marathon my birthday weekend and began to train for it. I felt overwhelmed and a bit burned out by taking on another thing so soon. I am thinking of doing a fall marathon around Hailey's birthday in honor of her while she finishes her AIT Training at Fort Jackson. I'd like to do a virtual challenge or possibly a virtual half. I like the idea of doing a virtual half on Easter morning. But I haven't found the right one yet. I would love to do it with a friend, but I am mostly running solo these days. My running friend moved away and I can't run in the early mornings anymore. It does not work with my schedule at all. Maybe my other friend can join me once in awhile.
I will post my monthly stats. I did hit 55.48 miles in January with mostly running, one swim workout, kayaking in Florida and a few hikes.
