100 in 100!!

 Happy New Year!

Man, did I ever miss blogging. It's been what, three months since I last posted? Well, lots has happened since then...and the saga of my injured paws is too long and tired to get into, but to make a long story short, I will say this: the right hand is almost better. Functional, anyway, and at the risk of being crude I will never again take for granted the ability to wipe my ass. You snicker? I DARE all of you to wipe your butts with your non-dominant hand! It's really hard.

And since when did I ever worry about being crude? Sheesh, I've lost my touch.

Which brings me to the left hand...argh: it still looks like surgery is in my future and it is still really messed up. Typing is still awkward and time consuming, it still aches at the end of every day, and it still looks freaking gross. MRI is scheduled for January 30th and I will keep you posted. For now, every day is still leg day and I am going to be QUADZILLA when this is over!

And honestly? I have learned to love leg training.

So, it's a new year which means new goals, resolutions, plans, and pipe dreams! I love this time of year because it seems like anything is possible. I'm going to leave my resolutions to share in another post, because I am celebrating getting back online by kicking off a new fitness challenge:

100 workouts in 100 days!

I did this a couple of years ago but then it was specifically triathlon training, and this year although doing a triathlon or two is not off the menu, it's not the primary goal. What I'd like to do this year though, is dedicate each workout to someone, or a group of people, that inspires me and I'll post a little bit about them here, along with whatever the workout was. I'm stoked for this project; it's gonna be fun!

So far my 2013 Calendar looks like this:

February 2 - Chuns Memorial Taekwondo Tournament

June 29 - Spartan Sprint (5km) (Edmonton)

August 17th - Spartan Sprint (Calgary)

September 7th - Spartan Super (14km) (Red Deer)

September 28th - Spartan Beast (21km) (Kamloops/Sun Peaks Resort)

End of November - Black Belt Test!!

There will be more dates that I will add to that list; I'd like to add a triathlon or two and there are some other taekwondo tournaments coming up as well. What a ride 2013 is going to be! Hold on tight 'cause tomorrow's Day 1 of 100 in 100!
