31 january

Lighter, faster, stronger. What a fantastic way to finish janathon. Treadmill running intervals, followed by 90 min core and weight training.

The best part of my day was spent with my sons, however.

Yay for janathon.

30 January

Good thing there's one more day in January. It would be a shame to end Janathon on my Monday rest day. Accomplishment: dog walk. And rest, the part of the workout where you get ready for the next one.  All my favorite clothing was laundered yesterday, hung out this morning, and will by dry by tomorrow. 

I'm ready!

Cold, enjoyable 7.5 km run in the dunes with my friend and my dog. and sunshine bonus!  Another successful Janathon day.

28 jan

It can't possibly be the 28th of january. First, there are daffodils blooming in the back garden. Second, I found some christmas decorations that escaped the big clean up weeks ago. Between these two icons, it seems like only a couple days passed.

Today was clear, cold, and sunny. So I took off from saturday chores to ride 30 km in the dunes. I took it easy minding my heart rate. I've a long season ahead.

Thinking about chores reminds me, I still have to make my son's bed with now-clean sheets.

I have figured a new technique for more fun on saturdays. Do the big grocery shop on thursday night, when the store is open late. I will need to think through how that affects menu planning. Friday is usually a sag on the bench night. My big shop usually feeds the weekend and most of my weekday meals. Hmm. When would I do the big cook up?

Rowed a 5k today. 25 min. Then circuit training sweat fest with weights. Loved it.

Funny thing is that when I started, I didn't feel like going. I played a game with myself. "you can quit, but only after ten minutes of trying."  Reminds me of the rule that you must take one bite. Works every time.

Have you wanted to lose weight this month? Did you? I did, and I feel proud of myself. If you didn't quite reach your goal this month, don't give up. There is another month coming soon.

Today. Trying to outrun the bug that is going around. So I did not train at the gym or at home. Instead, some fresh fruit and vegetable juice.

Regular bike commute and dog walk, so janathon is safe.

Almost forgot! An hour cycling today.  Janathon rocks!
