happy new year!

here at slithy tove we are starting the new year off with a new marathon training plan. i’ve been in tech this week (ie, at work A LOT) and in spare moments at my desk have put together a training plan that is…ambitious, to say the least. in the process, i’m tackling a number of 101 tasks (fear not! the 101 in 1001 project has not been abandoned; the blog page is just waiting to be retooled). i’ve been training in aikido for the past 12 months now, so i think we can consider that task checked off. next up is passing my 5th kyu exam in april. so aikido is going to be the main source of cross training for the first part of the spring, switching the focus back to running just in time for the warmer weather and peak marathon training. all of which is leading up to the stockholm marathon on may 31.

all this training means that it’s a good time to focus on eating better, so we’re starting the month of january off with a couple of food-related tasks:11. go complete veggie for a month, and 37. keep a food journal for 40 days. and, since i’ve decided to devote this month to being more conscious about why and what i eat, i’m reading a couple of the books that have been in my to-read stack for a while: the omnivore’s dilemma and animal vegetable miracle

how are you starting 2008, internets?
