For January, Concept2 is doing a virtual team row, with each team member logging their rowed distance and time and each team being ranked against other teams. Needless to say, my team is not in the top 100 (some of the teams are 200+ members!) But at any rate, it is a good way to keep yourself motivated. I’ve tried to shoot for a goal of rowing once per day, but have fallen woefully short. Will continue to strive for it, however.

Additionally, my wife and I bought toe socks, for use when we get our Vibram Five Fingers, which are getting very hard to find. Ours are on the way, from two different places. She is going with the Sprints, while I have opted for the KSOs. Should be a fun learning experience, and, since we both already like to move around the house without our shoes on, should be a nice and natural extension into the rest of the modern world.
Also, picked up a couple of different books. One is called Play, and is about playing and the good that it does for people of all ages both mentally and physically. Another is called Exuberant Animal and is about how a human should work out, what kinds of things they should focus on, and most of all, and probably most importantly, how most all working out should also be playful and beautiful.

Additionally, my wife and I have a new little one to teach the wonders of his body and this earth. Should be quite the exciting next 18 years.
