I feel like January flew by, and at the same time, the marathon seems so long ago. \u00a0The other day, I looked at the marathon countdown I had set on my computer, and it had started counting up. \u00a014 days since the marathon (now 18). \u00a0I can’t believe it was that recently! \u00a0It feels like forever ago.<\/p>\n

And yet this explains why my sunburn is still slightly peeling and my blisters are… well, we won’t discuss the grossness that is my feet. \u00a0Runners often have slightly unattractive feet. \u00a0At least I still have all ten toenails!<\/p>\n

All in all, I think we can call January a success. \u00a0I finished the marathon. \u00a0I haven’t said no to doing another one. \u00a0I hit my goal of running at least 50 miles this month (a lot easier when one run covers more than half of the monthly goal), I’ve been biking a bit and I started swimming with Team Fight.<\/p>\n

Still haven’t finished the training plan I’ve been claiming to work on, but I know where it needs to go and I’m continuing to ease in. \u00a0No need to jump right into intense workouts and then find myself burning out midway through the season. \u00a0I just have to make sure that I’m sticking with it.<\/p>\n

February brings a couple of races – a local 5k and Disney’s Princess Half Marathon, for which I will be wearing an awesome costume. \u00a0Should be a great month!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
