Two months ago, I decided I wanted to end my streak of lazy COVID era habits. My one metric was going to be to run a mile without stopping. I didn’t care how fast it was, just to do it.

It took about a month of dedicated jogging/running. But eventually I was able to do it. I remember… it was like a 10 minute mile lol but the crazy thing is that it felt like I created a habit. Now, almost two and a half months after I made that commitment, I ran a mile in under 8 minutes for the first time! It feels good man.

Heart health scares me. Whenever I think about the fact that there is a beating ball of meat inside my chest I have a mini existential crisis… this has gone a long way to combat that.

I guess I’m posting this to celebrate an achievement, but I also hope someone can read this and decide they want to improve on something for themselves. Whether it’s running like me or a skill or anything else. It’s about building habits and just sticking to it.
