January was a great month … so much better than so much of last year. Some highlights captured in a tweet since I didn’t blog much …

3 January accomplishments:
– lost 7 pounds
– increased max weight at the gym by 10-15% on most things
– ran more miles than Oct-Dec combined

Now it's on to bigger and better things in February! pic.twitter.com/GeornX0eFF

Back at the end of November, I committed to “starting over” with running and so many other things.

After nearly two months with no running, I really had no other options. I “started over” in December with a run of a tenth of a mile on Dec. 1 and gradually increased that to a little more than 3 miles several times in January. I also saw a nice return to a few snowy runs …

Yet another snowy run. #runchat #seenonmyrun

Weight-lifting continued and increased …

I posted a similar video on Nov. 30 where I was doing this at only 30 pounds. Today it was at 100 pounds. Take that, mysterious injury.

And I did a 7-day cleanse to “start over” with nutrition …

So I've kept this a secret … I'm doing my first ever cleanse next week to try and kick start a few changes. This is only a sampling of what's ahead.

And now for February? It’s time to press down the gas pedal and keep going.

What has happened in the past two month still doesn’t feel like much, and it’s time to just keep marching forward in this journey. 

First time running to the gym, lifting weights, then running home. These are the types of workouts I thought of a couple of months ago when I could barely walk, and will be making reality in February. #running #runchat #crosstraining
