To celebrate the New Year - I did the Polar Bear Plunge yesterday into Flathead Lake - http://www.flatheadlake.name/-

Water temp was 37.5 - air temp was 39

I was wishing for a wetsuit!!

So how is everyone doing????

I *think* I'm doing well... I'm enjoying myself/losing weight/continuing to work out/learning to swim/etc....

But - I'm starting to get a little feeling like I'm slacking... havent done my pushups/situps in a couple of days (that's no way to get to 1400!)... I enjoy the routine of excercising, but I'm thinking maybe I'm not actually burning the number of minutes I need to.

Gotta bump up my effort.

It's February - How did January go?

I set 3 goals:
1. To learn to swim (accomplished)
2. Some ridiculous number of push-ups/sit-ups (failed miserably)
3. 5 Pull-ups (I can do 4 - I'll keep after it)

I've kept running, coaxing my family to join in little-by-little.

I'm looking forward to February - I start my training plan Feb 18th. The high school swim season is done soon, so I can swim in the mornings. Although I do have to buy a new pair of goggles since I left mine somewhere last week...


How does February look for everyone??

I have a duathlon tomorrow, indoor tri next week, and then another duathlon the next week. It is a lot but it gives me something to look forward to during the winter. Also, I start a new training plan mid- Feb. This plan is an 8 week bike focused plan that leads up to my first outdoor tri in mid April.

Nice! Busy February!
