One month of 2011 down!
Sheesh it needs to slow down already.
Looking back
January is one of my favorite months of the year, not just because of obvious reasons, but because I LOVE our January weather and I love the fresh start to a new year.
This January was a very good one, probably one of the best I have had running wise. Usually I am not training for a marathon yet, but I spent the whole month training and racked up 229.5 miles! Not my highest month ever, but it’s one of them so I am definitely happy.
What else happened this month?
My blog redesign was launched. I am still in love with the new look.
I turned 29 and ran 18 miles and ate a large portion of a large cookie covered in ice cream that day.
Did I really just post this picture on my blog? 
I started my involvement with a lot of different areas in the bay area running community.
SFM training group 
I have had some very successful track workouts and fell in love with the track in the morning.
Overall I just had a great month!

How was your January?
Very awesome monthly recap! I have yet to run a Marathon and am fully enjoying reading about everyones training for either achieving a BQ or training for Boston. Someday Ill be there and I cant wait! Your food tracking blog came at the right time for me as I am so nervous about what to eat while training for Chicago this summer!
