Slept well. Didn’t have dinner last night because I ran and I’m never hungry after running. Up later than usual and I have a busy day today.
Dear diary, etc. etc.
The daily writing and publishing habit may be having second-order effects. One is that my running plan for the half marathon started early enough that there is a clear path to success by slow and steady training. And I am doing it. Regular schedule: three times a week. Regular place to run. Regular plan: distance increases by 10% weekly, rounded up to the next half mile. Sunday is the long run.
I don’t have to think. I just do. There is no debating with self about what to do, whether to skip or postpone, etc. I just go. Twice now it’s been raining. I ran in the rain.
I attribute part of this to the positive feedback loop of the Last Resolution Standing thing I am still in. Day 82, 7 of us remaining from 159 starting. I’m oddly proud of that.
Ok. Time to extend that incremental relentless behavior pattern elsewhere.
