GardenerJoy - you're almost at goal - keep going:)

Wow I completely fell apart on this challenge this month. I was not focused and I got sick at the end of the month. I need to work on consistency and routine-as in I need to get it into my head that *I am person who is physically active* and that this is normal for me.

So I am after an achievable goal which I hope to build on over the course of the year. When the February Challenge begins I'll join up and begin again.

Thanks Flower1 and Joy!

Oh my, HereIStand. You push yourself so hard! I hope it gets better quickly!

Great job everyone even if you don't make goal! It's all good!!! :)

Take care, HereIStand! I hope it's not as bad as it sounds.

I hope to have no trouble meeting my goals today -- we're expecting a high in the 60s. It would be hard NOT to walk on a day like today.

I didn't quite make my 4x/week running goal, due to the pain/injury I sustained last week. I had to take it easy for the race today. Otherwise, with my excused absences for race tapering, I met goal. :)

For anyone who's interested: I kinesio-taped my injured area last night and today I ran the fastest miles I've ever done. Hoping the lingering pain is just from a strained ligament.

Public goal: average 500y per day
Sealed in the envelope goal: average 1000y per day
Time capsule goal: exercise every day, swim or weights
