What with all the celebrating, eating and drinking over the holidays, it's too easy to get carried away with setting crazy resolutions in January. Plus, with the arrival of Elsa Grace, who knew what kind of time there would be? Would there even be time to train? Would I want to? All good questions that I put off for a month until we got into a more "normal"1 schedule.
Now that Elsa's eight(!) weeks old. we're getting closer to a normal schedule, and since a year (Okay, 11 months) is too long to commit to, I decided to use month-long chunks. It's also handy that February is the shortest month -- not that I'm afraid of commitment or anything. So for February, since I need to get back to active movements, I've committed to doing something active2 every day.
Thus far, I'm two for two. Woot! I got a short bike ride in Monday and a nice run in the snow Tuesday morning. (And yes, I ran because it was snowing, not in spite of it.) With any luck, I hope to make it 28 for 28. I'll try to keep some updates logged here, but you can always follow me on Twitter, too.
1 What's normal anyways?
2 Active can be any swim, bike, or run. It can also be breaking out the Wii Fit Plus, or basketball, or walks with my family.
