Just like that we are done January 2014! Did it fly by for you or was it slow as a slug? I felt I had moments of both. With two little ones I always just want time to freeze because they are growing so fast. Before we know it they won’t want to snuggle anymore, hang out with us….who am I kidding…they’ll ALWAYS want to hang out with us and snuggle 😉
Last month I managed to get a good number of runs, soccer games and workouts in. I kept a little snap shot in my handy dandy “running” (turned workout) book. It looks a little something like this:
Yes, I know there’s an app for that but I like writing it down and having that tangible book that I can look at. Plus, I don’t have a personal cell phone but a Blackberry for work…and well, I don’t want to be glued to my work phone when I’m not at work.
Total kilometers I ran in January: 48 (29.82 miles) – This might not seem like a lot to you…but it is to me! All while working full-time and with my husband away fairly often. Soccer Games played: 2 Games missed: 2 😦 T25 Workouts at work: 3. I love getting my workout done at lunch AND have a workout buddy, thanks Melissa!
February Goals:
- Run 15 -20 km a week
- Run once during my lunch break when schedule permits (not on the road)
- T25 at work during my lunch break when schedule permits
- Take Lilly downhill skiing and skating
- Play outside with girls
- Date night when hubby is home
- Enjoy the Olympics
- Aim to be in bed by 10 pm
- Stay on track with our budget
- Clean something in my house (I have a list of 40 things) … maybe the fridge I started last month
- Plan my blogging posts better (don’t spend every night trying to compose 1 post)
And, I may or may not have had my lunch in our boardroom at work….just so I could watch some of the Olympics!
When your department is called “Health & Wellness, Physical Activity, Sport and Recreation” you can kind of get away with watching the Olympics randomly throughout the day! Tomorrow, we are all wearing RED to support our Canadians in Sochi!
Do you have any plans for February?
Have you given up on your New Year’s Resolutions already?
Are you pumped for the Olympics? What’s your favourite sport to watch?
Piper's Run 
Cool, great month! I’m really looking forward to the olympics too.
What’s your favourite Olympic winter sport to watch?
I love watching winter sports! (well, all sports actually). New Year’s resolutions are still hanging in there, and my main fitness goal for Feb is to stick to the training plan, and get a solid foundation of training under my belt again 🙂
In the UK, tomorrow is a wear red day, in support of the British Heart Foundation, so you’ll be supporting another event without knowing it! 😉
Friday’s have been “Wear Red Day for our Troops” for the last few years. I wore Red every Friday my brother was in Afghanistan and just got back into it recently.
February is Heart month here too – so maybe there is a wear red day for that!
Must be connected! 🙂
Congrats on a solid month! I also keep track of my runs on a paper schedule. There’s something more satisfying about it!
Thanks! Glad I am not alone with the paper trail 🙂
Wow! Awesome month! Nice work.
Thanks Krystol!
I like to write my workouts down on paper too, I like that I can look over them in a notebook whenever I want
I like that too. You can compare everything on paper and have it all in front of you 🙂
SO excited to watch the Olympics!! I don’t really have a favorite sport!
I feel like my treadmill running “entertainment” just got better!!!
Oh definitely!!
Well done on your January. My February calls for around 140km, new years resolutions going well (and getting added to). As for the Olympics Great Britain or Ireland aren’t really winter sport nations so I don’t have a favourite sport. But I will be watching all the same.
WOW! 140 km – I don’t know if I’ve ever run that much…. You must run a lot and long distances. My husband’s from England, so we’ll be keeping an eye on those Brits!
Great goals! I’ve been cleaning and de-cluttering my house too.
If cleaning and de-cluttering was an Olympic sport, I’d probably win a bronze medal right now. Ha ha.
hahah so funny=)
I didn’t want to say Gold, cause I’ll be honest I’m not doing that good of a job but I’d be up there 😉
Great job! Keep up the good work!
Working in TV, I get to watch pretty much whatever, haha! Go USA!
L-U-C-K-Y!!!!
Go CANADA!
i would love for you to follow my running journey run100run.wordpress.com
Some amazing goals! I’ll admit that I prefer the summer Olympics, but I’m pretty stoked for all of it!
I love both Olympics but I think winter is where it’s at for me.
Yay! Great month. I’m still working on the resolutions. 🙂 They are an all year thing as far as I’m concerned.
I didn’t do resolutions per say but more goals for the year and hoping to keep on top of them monthly.
Love the book. I myself am an excel junkie. Great goals for the month 🙂 Yay for Olympics!
Great job using excel! It’s great to hear people aren’t always stuck using apps for these types of things. Enjoy the Olympics!
