We lost ourselves easily while keeping any type of long resolution. I’ve been off & on track a lot for the past months ever since I took on the recording of my new year resolution 2024. It’s only 2 months left until the end of 2024. I feel more confident in bringing myself back on track every time I drift somewhere. I guess experience helped, and also by keeping promises to myself, I became more resilient.

I. Marathon Training and Routine Life 

Started training for my marathon since September and took on the 75 Hard Challenge around the same time. Now it’s only a couple of days left until I can drink. My friends are all super excited to get me drunk. But it’s not much of a challenge for me to not drink 75 days straight. I hate the taste of alcohol anyway. But I do sometimes like the tipsy feeling after a bit of drinking. But most of the time I can make myself happily tipsy without alcohol. For me, keeping workouts and reading 10 pages of nonfiction is challenging if I had to do it every day. But I did it, and I’m confident I can continue doing it as habits learned. Happy for that!

I just ran my 17 km this Sunday. Nov & Dec are going to be hard since I need to run more long runs. I scheduled 3 times of running for each week, plus 2 workouts and 2 biking since I love biking a lot late in the afternoon chasing the breath-taking sunsets. I will probably add up an easy 3~5 km run each Saturday before my Sunday long run. 

II. Plans and More Goals

Friends asked me to travel for a fireworks show; I should probably turn it off. And I’m attending this national hash event for my Hash Harriet group. That would be okay since its running event anyway; just don’t go crazy too much with those encounters. 

Life has been okay. I’ve been blessed with more time to myself ever since I started my business on my own. To be honest, I was not that diligent at work. But whatever, I’m enjoying the freedom more. That’s totally worth it. 

The goal is to finish the marathon. And make a good ending to 2024. I’m not stopping taking record of my life progress. For the new year, I’ll always find more challenges to experience more of life and see more new versions of myself. 

III. Everybody Got Her Stupid Problems

Are there things on my mind? Yes, always I want love. I want to fall in love with someone to spend those lazy relaxing moments together; I don’t need a party or friends to feel good. But I do want intimacy with the one. who makes me feel secured and loved. But. If that’s not in my destiny. I’m okay with it.

Will try to get up early in order to fall asleep easier before moody nights. I usually do great to go to sleep early. But there are nights where I just can’t sleep and worry about nonsense. But I’m okay with myself that way as well. I love and accept whatever status I’m in. Not only the beautiful sweating cheering me, but also the grumpy and period-controlled freaky me.

Hope you love your life and yourself too.
