Currently doing Dry January as I usually do after New Year’s. Maybe I’ll do it for longer now, maybe not.

I also want to train for a marathon this year. Not sure which, but it would be nice to see if I could do it. The first test will be a ten miles in april and I’ll see where it goes.

Maybe I’ll do a physical exam somewhere soon to see what’s going on in my body. I’m not having any problems but I’m curious if things will come up.

What about you?

    If one lives in a country where yearly physicals are free, it’s a no-brainer to get them every 2 years minimum.

    For me, it’s to get back on the bike and reach a level of cardio fitness so I can work my blue collar job, bike to and from work, without feeling exhausted at the end of the day.

      Full physicals are not that common over here. People only go if something is wrong. Health Insurance covers a lot over here but I have no idea where to ask for a physical exam lol. I should probably start with the local doc but I have mixed experiences with him so I’m hesitant.

        Hmmm that’s unfortunate, the majority of the adult population in general doesn’t, especially men. It is the best way to catch serious diseases and conditions early. Here each person has a general practitioner physician that they generally have most of their life that one gets them through.
