It started days before the dawn of 2024.
Myself and my partner-in-crime @Serendipity_Lemon had a long, long talk. With seasonal depression hitting us like a truck, we both knew that heading into the new year, we had to change it up. I decided to dust off the bass guitar I bought as a gift to myself at the height of my depression (we're both autistic and have some flavor of ADD or ADHD), got into Gunpla and actually use duolingo to learn a new language.
And I'm going to track every new habit I form to get some proper data by end of the year.
But let's start with the first few steps, shall we?
0530 Tues 2nd of Jan, '24
5m Warm-up; 1 min run, 1.5m walk (8 sets); 5m Cooldown
0530 Thurs 4th of Jan, '24
5m Warm-up; 1 min run, 1.5m walk (8 sets); 5m Cooldown
1700 Sun 7nd of Jan, '24
5m Warm-up; 1 min run, 1.5m walk (8 sets); 5m Cooldown
Bass Guitar Streak (with rest days for fingers) - 6 days
Duolingo Streak - 11 days (started before 2024, which is a feat for me)
Gunpla Built - 1
I sit here writing this off the throes of a two-day debilitating toothache (which thankfully got resolved with the offending tooth having been pulled earlier today), I feel that itch to run in my speed force; I know that rest days are just as important though, so I'm not writing off shifting the entire week's runs off by a day to still stay within the days I want to run on. I have my ankle and knee braced since running at a heavier weight has its downsides, but I'm relatively happy with my progress so far.
Using the app "Just Run" and it's Zero to 5K program has felt good this week. I've gone from starting at a 14m mile on the first day to a consistent 12min mile with being able to push hard at a 10'30 mile pace on the last few rounds.
Week 1 is done and I'm super pleased with everything I've accomplished.
