January is my least favorite month.\u00a0 And now it’s over!\u00a0 Woohoo!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Both nacho cat and I are thrilled about this.<\/em><\/p>\n

I spent some time thinking about it and while the cold kind of sucks, and it’s depressing that it’s dark all the time AND there’s no Christmas light to brighten it up, the real bummer is the allergies.\u00a0 January is a month where you just have to stay inside a lot and that’s kind of against my nature.<\/p>\n

However, there are opportunities that come with the cold and the dark and the inside that I don’t get to capitalize on all year.\u00a0 Let’s call them the silver lining, because they’re still under the rain clouds, but if nothing else, January and February feel unique.\u00a0 And that’s something.<\/p>\n

I went a little gung ho with goals last month, even trying to moderate, and I definitely realized the need to back the eff up on some of them.\u00a0 I definitely underestimated how crispy I was from the last two months of remodel and all the other DOING THINGS last year.\u00a0 January was a bit of a forced reset in some aspects, and some nonsense wrapped up and it actually felt pretty good.<\/p>\n

Sporty Stuff:<\/strong><\/p>\n

These feet are moving faster than they have in quite a while.\u00a0 Thank you speedwork.<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve covered this a lot.<\/p>\n

I had a very short but fairly successful cycle training for 3M, breaking through some barriers.<\/p>\n

Then, I had a really rough day where blisters, nagging injuries, and my digestive system decided to undermine my chance at a PR at 3M<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The next week, I had a pretty solid day at the Indoor Tri.<\/a><\/p>\n

This weekend I will ride my bike much longer than I am trained for and call it the end of this weird little winter mini-season and start the process towards being a well-built sprint triathlete.<\/p>\n

I’ve detailed my frustrations in previous posts, so let me focus on my wins:<\/p>\n
