It's time for our monthly check in where we review our goals from last month and see what's coming up for the next.
Do you set yourself monthly goals and if so, how many do you set? Juan and I on the first week of every month go over our progress from the previous month and where we are heading for the next. Emphasis as always is on the shortcomings; what we didn't achieve in the previous monthly goals and how we will fix that for the month that comes...
I wrap up my 12-week running journey, sharing how I transitioned from an engineer's mindset to embracing the challenges of endurance running. Starting with a detailed plan, I navigated through various obstacles like illness, injury, and adjusting to life changes while aiming to increase my weekly running distance.
Over the course of these 12 weeks, I clocked 192.28 kilometers across 52 runs, learning to appreciate running beyond just the numbers...
Juan and I are experiencing firsts & lasts with our loved ones, moments that may or may not be lost in time.
In Episode #423 of 'Musings', Juan & I discuss: the connection between moments and memories, why the last time of something can also be the first of something else, our tricks for enjoying the good/bad moments of life, what Juan did after slipping on his driveway and how life journaling could alter our perception of reality...
As I conclude the 12th and final week of my running phase, I reflect on the journey I've embarked on. My aim was simple: to spend more time running, increasing my minutes and kilometers on the road. Though the journey had its ups and downs, especially with injuries and life's unpredictabilities, I managed to clock in 5.49 kilometers this week...
Juan's away so Kyrin comes out to play, let's get to know me a bit better!
In Episode #422 of 'Musings', I discuss: what it was like growing up in Brisbane, why I have tremendous sympathy for teenagers, our fixation with owning a house, my period of experimentation & learning about myself, why I feel like I'm just waiting around at the moment and how I intend to fix that.
Massive thanks to Petar and Starky for the support...
Week 11 of my 12-week running phase brought its fair share of challenges. As I reflect on the journey, it's clear the initial goal of increasing time on my feet has been complicated by the realities of life, including an injury that forced me to reconsider my approach. I shifted my focus from hitting a specific kilometer count to a more holistic view of movement, including biking and walking, to maintain my fitness while recovering...
We want to do more than thank our supporters, but how do we do that?
In Episode #421 of 'Musings', Juan & I discuss: economic and behavioural incentives, why I think most of macro economics is bullshit, accidently encouraging the wrong behaviour, why we want Mere Mortalites to feel good and about listening/contributing back and spitballing ideas on how we can make this happen...
In the 10th week of my 12-week running phase, I delve into my evolving objectives and how I've had to pivot along the way. I faced several challenges this week, from veering off my initial plan to managing an unexpected injury. Despite these setbacks, I clocked 18.94 kilometers and took the time to analyze the reasons behind it. I talk about specific runs and the strategies I used to avoid exacerbating my injuries...
