RECAP: I swear to god, I am going to get back in the habit of writing these updates every week. This week saw the beginning of my plan to work out, every day, for a year. This is going to be a tricky balancing act, I need some of these workouts to be hard enough to push my fitness level, and others to be easy enough to allow for recovery. Right now, the plan is to have the running workouts be the hardest, with the swimming and rowing used as a sort of active recovery. We’ll see how that goes. Here’s the week

Other Random Notes:

1. If you didn’t see it, I am now tweeting about my daily workouts if that kind of thing interests you.

2. I have a plan to post progress photos on here as well, I hope to post the photo for January tomorrow… if I can convince E to take a photo of me for this harebrained project.
