January Is A Wrap

And just like that January is behind us. Im going to January a win with 108 run miles and 505 bike miles. Most importantly I end the month physically healthy.

One thing we did this month to enhance our general health was to get a very comprehensive blood panel done through a private company paid out of pocket. Armed with the data we met with our trusted nutritionist to set a supplement and diet strategy for the next six months.

I believe it’s going to be important to proactive with our preventive healthcare. I am excited about the direction we are going.

Explore and Discover

One of our 2021 goals is to explore parks within the Golden Gate Conservancy. This month we got to Fort Funston and the beach there. It was beautiful and very easy to get to. Here are a few pics

Sharing Year End Stats

I am proud of how my numbers ended up for 2020. I had a few months where I had physical challenges running but I was able to overcome them and have a pretty good run year.

I am most proud of my bike year 🚴🏼‍♀️. For the first time ever I rode over 6,000 miles. Some of that was due to run injury and part was due to COVID and sheltering in place. Thankfully I have able to ride consistently.

2020 Run and Bike Stats

I’ll be looking to do the same kinda numbers this year with my focus on staying healthy. Keys to success? Hydrate, eat well, stretch and be smart.

I wish you a successful workout year. I hope you have taken a minute to think about what your goals are and how you will get it done.

Start The Year Right

Going back to when the kids were young New Year’s Day is a family day. Even when the kids were in college we connected for brunch after they were able to get moving. The idea was family is first priority so the first activity of the new year should be about family.

Elizabeth and I have kept the tradition going today with a great day in San Francisco. It was a low key walk with an emphasis on photo taking and exploring. We walked 5 miles but that wasn’t the point. Here are a few pictures from today’s outing.

The scale is incredible

New Year’s Eve 2020

New Years Eve for me is about closing out the workout books on the year, doing the Last Chance Workout, and totaling everything up.

For my Last Chance Workout I closed with a half marathon. I had some issues this year that hampered my running so being able to run a 1/2 on the last day of the year was a nice way to celebrate.

I’m proud of my year end bike and run numbers. I ended with a solid run year and a best in my life ride year.

A great joy to me is being able to do fun rides with Elizabeth so being able to end the workout year with a little bike ride, get coffee and get bagels is fantastic.

The day was a wonderful way to end the year. On to new adventures and goals in 2021.
