Do Something

I few days ago I posted my January goals. Well, I am adding another one. My newest goal for January is to do something active every single day. I understand the importance of rest days so I do not plan on running or biking every single day. Rather, other things such as going for a walk, doing yoga, or even going skiing will count.

So far I have done something active every single day and I am loving it. I feel great and my body is really starting to crave activity. I feel more energized and am starting to feel stronger even though I haven't done any strength training yet.

This goal will also help my body get accustomed to triathlon training in the spring and summer. Even if I am only going for a walk with my dog, knowing that I am moving and not just sitting around will really help me gain confidence going into heavier training.

So far, this is what I have been up to in January:

• January 1: walk
• January 2: 30 min bike, 1.5 mile run, walk
• January 3: 2 x 800, walk
• January 4: 30 min bike, 10 min run, walk
• January 5: skiing

2012 is all about being healthy for me and doing what is best for my body. I know being more active will keep my body running smoothly.
