December and 2024 Round Up

... let's just get into it.

Swimming: 0m (0mi)

Cycling: 0 m

Running: 2.27 mi

Lifting: one session (:10)
Other: six sessions hockey (5:56), one walk (:22)

The intentional rest from November turned into somewhat unintentional rest in December. There were some perks - I had a hockey tourney mid-month and we ended up having to play four games in three days ... and, unlike the Germany tournament, they were actual, full-length games. I also survived it (though my lack of endurance is starting to show) ... and I played some of my best hockey.

But really, the month seemed emblematic of the year. Idle. Stagnant. Never truly getting going.

What was good about 2024? 

I played a lot of hockey.

I ran my first (standalone) marathon.

I broke a very old half-marathon PR.

... and in terms of athletic accomplishments, that might be it. I'm slower. I'm definitely heavier. I'm weaker. And my brain still hates me.

But it is. It's done, and it's in the past. All I can do now is try to hopefully move forward.
