This screen capture covers both my last run of 2020 and my first run of 2021. Which year should I put it in?
2020. Put it in 2020 because I ran today with BE (Jan 5th) and I mentally counted that as my "first" run. Either way, here's a summary of the past weeks since my last update on Dec 22nd.
We tested negative for COVID and all of us (my whole St Louis "family") went north on Thursday after LAs final exam for Christmas. The kids did gingerbread houses at the bakery, we did Eve dinner at my sis's house (Beef Wellington! It was D-lish!), then Christmas day at the parents house. Dinner was in Dad's new shed, with costume hats, Russian Shuba salad and potato cookies, and presents. The kids had to leave Saturday morning while I stayed for Dad's birthday.
Back in St Louis for a few days, then up to Michigan for New Years weekend. Benton Harbor, then Holland (our future home, I liked it but it's hard for me to see that far into the future) (it has TULIPS and old houses!), Ann Arbor, then home via Oglesby.
I ran 2 miles in Holland on the steam-heated downtown sidewalks, but other than that....no training over the holidays! There was no interest, motivation, or time. I savored the family time instead.
Summary of 2020? What a year. Started off running again slowly early on, then I got sick in March and didn't run again until May, then ran until October when I gave up because my right leg hurt too much. COVID hit in March and hasn't left. LA got into UMich, I decided to join him, he moved away, moved back partially, and I got the courage to really put my house on the market and leave my job. My sis is becoming a teacher, my parents are retired. But life is great. I've started running (again), cautiously, and swearing up and down I'll do PT this time!
SWIM 26870 yards in 11.5 hours (really that much?) The pools were closed until August
BIKE 634 miles in 45 hours, likely all outdoors. No group rides! This sucked.
RUN 459 miles in 85.5 hours. Run, sick, run, injured, run.
COMMUTE 518 miles commuting. Didn't commute much this year, due to LA giving me a ride and/or just losing the habit.
For next year, next thing on my list to find the date of the AA Marathon. And keep the H100 in mind!
