Excited to break into my 2023 daily pages!!!
The little sticker = my first 2023 planner smudge. Ha!
This has been such a lovely week. We meet up with out of town friends Weds night, celebrated NYE with neighbors (and many neighborhood kids) yesterday, and I got to see a Baltimore friend today (fun peds endo play date 🙂 ).
Just feeling grateful and excited and looking forward to this year.
Things I have not yet finalized (but will soon) to prep for 2023:
- Quintile 1 goals list + January goals list (concurrent starts~!)
- 2023 reading/TBR list
- BLP Topic Outline (loose) + guest wish list
- January’s budget
- Home organizing plan 🙂 Because it is going to happen . . .
Most of these will get done tomorrow.
Will keep today’s 2023 Day 1 post short – tomorrow BLP’s 2023 Goals Episode releases — there is some overlap with the BOBW version obviously but more details.
Weekly Workout Report
(last of the year . . . or the first of the year?)
M: 3 mi on the treadmill in Montana! I was definitely impacted by altitude and had to take breaks (2 min walking every 8 min). Something like ~10:45/mi pace PLUS walking. Altitude is serious.
T: Home, treadmill (Josh had to to work): 2 mi warmup 5.5 mph, 2 mi 6.4-6.6 mph, walked 4 minutes, then ran 4 x 1 minute @ 8-8.1 mph. ~5 mi total
W: 6 mi easy ~10:30/mi pace, 67F 82% + 20 min strength for runners
R: 2 mi warmup at 11:07/mi, then 3 miles consecutive 8:58, 9:06, 9:21/mi. ~1.4 mi cooldown (slow). 71F / 80%.
F: 30 min strength upper body
S: 14.29 mi long run (first 5 miles ~10:50/mi, second 5 ~10:25/mi, last 4.3 ~10:15/mi). 67F / 99%
S: 5.5 mi easy ~10:35/mi, 20 min strength for runners 71F / 93%
TOTAL: 40.2 mi // strength x 3 –> first 40 mile week in forever!

Happy New Year from Calgary, Canada! I started following you via BOBW this year and you’ve become a favourite creator. I love to check your blog daily and always pair my Monday and Tuesday podcast listening with a lunchtime walk. You have inspired me to be more intentional in my planning and look forward to executing on a 2023 system that works for me. Thanks for all that you do!
oh wow – thank you so much!!!
Nice work on negative splits on your long run! Way to go!!!
I love the feeling of a fresh start. And am having some of what Lazy Genius calls ‘big black trash bag energy’. Ha. I can’t wait to take our tree down tomorrow. This is the longest I have ever kept it up! And amazingly, we don’t have work tomorrow as financial markets are closed – but school is open!!
Love seeing how you use the cousin and weeks. I just ordered cousin, weeks, and 5 year journey after listening your 2023 stack posts. Please share more how you plan to use them. I’m following along. 🙂
Happy New Year! Just curious if you intentionally schedule complete rest days or do you just play by ear?
I was going to say once a week, but I actually don’t usually schedule a total rest day but instead a strength only day (and maybe just upper body to give legs a break). However, if i am just feeling crazy tired I will take a total rest day in lieu of an ‘easy’ run.
I’m looking forward to hearing about your home organization goals because… that also is mine for this year!
Nice work! This just popped into my mind, but if you are thinking about 2024 goals ;), the Olympic Marathon trials are going to be held in Orlando in early 2024. You can get on a mailing list for into about spectating (link at the bottom of this page: https://www.trackshack.com/blog/1378/orlando-selected-to-host-the-2024-u.s.-olympic-team-trials—marathon).
ooh that would be so much fun to watch!!!!
I love this use of the Weeks for fitness tracking and may use it as inspo for 2024.
