One of my goals for this (birthday based) year is to get healthy / in shape.
Obviously, this is made up of a bunch of subgoals… OK… fine… a long list of subgoals.
One of the subgoals is to run a 5K with Erin before my next birthday. Today: 3.3 miles on the treadmill (in an abysmally slow 35 minutes). Not quite the same as running outdoors, but the first recorded time I’ve been able to run that far for that long without stopping.
Another subgoal… actually a desired side-effect… is to lose weight. So far, again, since my birthday, down 13.5lbs to a round number. 15lbs to go.
As an only semi-related side-note:
- It’s amazing how motivating a lack of focus can be.
- It’s amazing how motivating a good sense of focus can be.
I guess it’s all in the variance.
[...] Had I 3 hands, I’d note that 3.15M in 33 minutes would have been awesome for 3-months-ago-Nick. [...]
