January Complete

Going back over the goals I set in this post and I’m already behind where I’d like to be. I’m happy with the goals that I’ve been doing but I need to do more.

Running has found its way back into my life more this year. A few years ago I decided I wanted to run again. I managed to get to a point where I was running 5-6 days a week at a respectable pace of under 10 minutes per mile. Then I stopped. At the end of last year I decided I wanted that to be one of my goals for 2024 and got started that day and have been fairly consistent since then with 2-3 days per week consisting of a run/walk workout. I always feel better after the run. Getting started is the hardest part.

Posting here has been difficult. Starting out this month I had some technical issues with the WordPress app on my Ipad and couldn’t get it to login when I wanted to post something. That’s sorted out but now I run into the feelings of “who cares”. I don’t look at the stats for this site. I honestly don’t know (or really care) if anyone is reading these posts. I’m writing here as a way for me to record my own history. But that feeling keeps coming up. I’m also very good and telling myself “Oh, I’ll just make that post later” and when later comes I can’t remember what the hell I wanted to write about. It also doesn’t help that I absolutly **HATE** the WordPress interface. I really miss the old style editor which, apparently, isn’t available to me unless I upgrade my plan. I have no intention of doing that. I’m on the look out for an easier, cheaper to use solution but I don’t want something wyx or any of the other “turnkey” solutions. I also don’t want to spend all my time messing with code to keep the site running. It’s a fine line and one I can’t seem to figure out.

Those are a couple of the goals I wanted to focus on. I’m going to continue running and now that the tech issues with with WordPress app are sorted I’m going to push myself to write more **when** something comes to mind and not push it off. My biggest problem with all of these goals is just getting started. Knowing that I think know I can get better at re-building these habits.
