February didn’t go quite as I had planned. I started out pretty good, but quickly realized that I couldn’t do the 7 minute workout each day without getting injured. So I revised the plan to do either the 7 minute workout or the Lolo Jones workout each day. I did corework on at least 20 of the 28 days in February, I tried to keep accurate records but didn’t always remember t0. I totally forgot once, remembered while laying in bed at least once, and then got sick last weekend… Now I just need to kick myself back into it and continue doing core work!
Overall, February has been a long month. One of the coldest and snowiest years on record for the Twin Cities has meant many cold runs and hard to pull yourself out of bed mornings. And lots of shoveling snow. March is traditionally the snowiest month, so that should be interesting! I think we’ve had 3 days above freezing in 2014 and something like 40 days that have been sub-zero at some point during the day. We’ve also had an unprecedented 6 days with no school. Ugh! We have done our best to embrace winter, Art Shanties, Ice Caves, and snowshoeing, but all the super-cold has meant that it has been hard to get the kids out to enjoy the cold weather!
February numbers:
5 trainer rides – I had hoped for 8.
Ran 33 miles – I had hoped for 50.
Here’s hoping March will be a better month. With changes in our schedule, I was hoping to be able to start biking to work – but it looks like there will be snow and ice on the roads for the foreseeable future. I still have my old steel road bike and I might try to get it ready for winter biking.
March 30 Day Challenge
My 30 Day Challenge for March is:
Unsubscribe, de-friend, unfollow – Time for some spring cleaning. Clean out your inbox or news feed by getting rid of some unwanted/unneeded clutter!
This can be done all at once or each day. I think I’m going to focus on one area each week and get rid of 7 things. So today I’ll unsubscribe from 7 e-mail newsletters, next week 7 Twitter Followers, then 7 Facebook friends, then 7 RSS feeds. Then I’ll just find 3 more things to get rid of! When I did this before I found that once you start it is hard to stop! I think the hardest challenge will be the RSS feeds, but that will potentially have the most time saving focus for me!
Other goals:
- I would like to continue doing core work every other day 16/31 days.
- I would like to hit 50 miles running miles for the month.
- I would like to ride my bike at least 10 times this month (hopefully some outside).
How did you do on your February goals? What do you have planned for March?
