I expect the want to do these type of weekly\/monthly\/etc goal setting posts will drop off as they typically do, but, here we are at the first full week of the year.\u00a0 I don’t typically 100% go off the rails in December, but there are treats to go with good healthy food, there is slothiness to match the running, there is lots of indulgences and staying up late to celebrate and unwind, and it can’t go on forever in exactly those ratios.<\/p>\n

January, when a lot of other folks are in the same mindset, is a good excuse for me to essentially hit the reset button on goals and progress, and bring things more in line with the 80\/20 rule than the 50\/50 rule. It’s always nice not to be the only weirdo trying to eat clean in December. I have company in January!:)<\/p>\n

This week is about establishing a regular routine after 20 days of vacation, but not expecting to be firing on all cylinders in all areas (this way lies burnout).\u00a0 Training is probably the most rigorous because I have a marathon in 9 weeks, a half I’d like to take a shot at PR’ing in 3 weeks, and I lifted weights ONCE in December and it hurt me bad.\u00a0 With everything else, it’s a gentle shift.<\/p>\n

\"Jan5-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While I won’t be doing much serious cycling until later in the year, I have indeed joined the ranks of alien headed aero helmet dorks as of Dec 24th! \ud83d\ude42<\/em><\/p>\n

This is actually where I excelled over break.\u00a0 I did a 40 mile week last week!\u00a0 That’s not bad for the “whatever, whenever” running plan.\u00a0 Streaking is the best.<\/p>\n

This week, I’m all about just a TOUCH more structure, simply because I at least have to plan when I’m going to run, instead of just heading out the door around 4pm because I was done slacking for the day.<\/p>\n

Goals:<\/p>\n
