2020 Recap/Mileage

[minzy]

How did your workouts fare in this unusual year? Did you make any permanent changes? What are you most grateful for that your wonderful body was able to do for you this year?

My big switches in 2020 because of covid were: the intro of much more frequent yoga (something I could do without leaving the house while my kids were at home), way less of the gym bike, and several hundred more miles of running.

Bike - 368.43 mi
Ran - 860.56 mi (75.65 in Dec.)
Walk - 34.48 mi
Hike - 16.2 mi
Swam - 7.61 mi
1,287.28 miles total
Wts - 52 x2 sets of exercises 😬
Yoga - 157(!) times (thank you, Yoga with Adriene!!)
Did something 334/365 days, 91.5% of the time, “streaked” four months (Jan, Apr, May, June)
Gave blood twice (wish it could have been more but hard to get an appt locally)
No real injuries
One cold in February/early March, but nothing since (yay, masks and social distancing!)

This morning I weighed 1.5 lbs less than I did on Jan 1. There was about a 12 lb flux over the year, and I’m smack in the middle of it now. I’m very grateful for good health and to have been able to move so much this year - it definitely helped keep my head clear.

2020 was a hot freaking mess.

-Coxsackie B virus
-Myocarditis
-Severe Mitral Valve Regurgitation caused by said virus
-Open Heart Surgery
-New Mitral Valve
-3 hospital stays
-Infections of various varieties


Total cycling distance (all forms): 4300 miles
Walking: No idea. A lot after surgery in October.
Yoga: about 20 "formal" practices. A lot more of squeezing 10 minutes into the day
I don't track weight or body weight sessions. I do 2-3 10-15 minute sessions/week about 45 weeks/year.

I was at 1,003 miles skating for the year. Not bad co considering I've been battling Achilles Tendonitis all year.

I have no idea how many walking and cycling miles, as I dont really track them.

I always put in 3-4 days/week lifting and continued that even after leaving the gym in March due to Covid.

I am really proud of myself for being flexible with my workouts when Covid hit. I had very little equipment at home and not being able to go to the gym really threw me for a loop. But I adapted my workouts, didn't miss a single one, and eventually built up a pretty decent home gym.

I am supremely grateful my body has remained cancer free and healthy enough to support me in my daily life and all my crazy endeavors. I am also supremely grateful for a healthier, more sane relationship with food and with my body after 2+ decades of struggling with disordered eating and body issues.

Run/walk- 548.15 miles. If I realized that before tonight I would have finished it up at 550.

Run: 1,163. Given my sprained ankle this summer and barely running in July and again in November, Im Happy with this.
Bike: 486.7. I feel really good about this and can’t wait to see where I end up in 2021. I just got the spin bike in August, so I expect to see big gains here.
Walk: a lot. About an average of 2 miles each day this year. In addition to all my other exercise. Clearly I was feeling cooped up a lot this year 😝
Strength: I don’t know. More than 10 times, but not by much. I really slacked on this. I hate strength training and making the switch to working out at home just made it that much worse. I have plans to work this into my routine (just 1x a week to start) in 2021.
Core: the first 6 months of the year, I was doing this 2x a week. Then I fell off the wagon. So, maybe I’ll try again in 2021.

I’m pretty proud of myself for keeping up with this with no gym access. I hate running outside in crap weather (and a warm drizzle is crap to me), so the fact that I’ve been pretty steady all year makes me happy.

Working from home for most of this year saved me commute time and also gave me the chance to run/walk during breaks during the day. That, plus a variety of virtual races this year pushed me to my highest run/walk mileage for a year.

Run: 1312 miles
Walk: 955 miles
Bike: 780 miles (didn't really start tracking until September)

I didn't really keep track of the other types of workouts I did, like cardio videos, pilates, yoga, etc.

I'm grateful that although I've gotten significantly slower despite much higher mileage, my body stayed healthy, strong, and capable of enduring the physical, mental, and emotional challenges this past year brought.
