So far, January has been my best and most consistent month of running. I've gone from "graduating" Couch to 5K on December 21 and still wondering if I could non-stop run 30 minutes on a regular basis to running 3.5 miles in 39:30. I've added about 30% to my workout time and 25% to my distance in the last month. I ran almost 44 miles for the month and spent about 8.5 hrs running.
I didn't get much swimming in. I'm hopefully back into a somewhat regular routine. I got in two swim workouts the last week of January and plan to continue that into February.
As far as my goals for 2011 are concerned, I've signed up for one 5k already, I've lost about 6 pounds and I have tentatively penciled in a triathlon in June. I still need a bike. I'm starting to wonder if I should just give in and get a cheap-o Wal-Mart or Target bike then see how the first tri goes before springing for anything more expensive. Even the entry level road bikes by the more respected manufacturers are $500+ for the bare bones model and if I'm going to be tri-ready by June, I need to start training soon.
February, here I come!
