January goals... MET!!!

WOW what a month...

My goal was to complete at least 30 minutes of exercise a day. And I'm happy to say that I only missed one day (thanks to a late day at work) but there were several days I did doubles, so I'm really happy with my accomplishments

My monthly totals
Distance: 347.75 mi
Time: 30:35:17
Calories: 20,915

Running: 32.79 mi
Cycling: 303.86 mi
Swimming: 11.09 mi

Now to think of what to do next month :)
