This is just a quick note to say Happy New Year! We’ve been out of town since before Christmas, and won’t be back home for another couple of days. While we’ve been away, I’ve managed to squeeze in a few walks and lots of playing with the kids (including an afternoon of football), but nothing else.
The good news is that I seem to have made it through the entire Holiday season without hurting myself playing pickup sports. You may recall that I nearly ruptured my Achilles tendon playing pickup soccer on Thanksgiving 2008, so I’ll consider my lack of injuries to be a small victory.
Where to from here? Well… When we get back home, I intend to jump back on the rower. Unfortunately, I’ll be leaving again shortly thereafter for a business trip. This time, however, I’ll be traveling sans family, so I’ll (hopefully) have more time to seek out exercise opportunities.
Beyond that, I’ll probably be putting pen to paper (so to speak) about my goals for 2010 after we get back into town. I haven’t had much time to think over the past week, and I don’t want to waste my time writing up a bunch of half-assed goals that I’m not 100% committed to.
In other news, I did manage to complete the Concept2 Holiday Rowing Challenge before we headed out of town. I actually broke the 100km mark by squeezing in an extra session about an hour before we left for the airport.
And with that… Happy New Year!
