It’s been quite some time since I’ve posted anything about running. I have been running, though not consistently. Still, recently, at least during the last three to four months, I’ve been putting in the effort. I end up taking a break here and there, but nothing longer than a week. Usually, when I have a poor night’s sleep, I end up not running. Recently, I’ve started not wearing my watch to bed, which seems to have improved my sleep at night.

Anyway, I went running this morning and achieved my fasted 1 mile since 2020! I managed an 11:38 mile. Not bad for a 64-year-old, overweight curmudgeon. My all-time best is 10:40, occurring on September 20th, 2020. However, that is the best as registered by Strava, my fitness app. My previous app, Runtastic, was ruined by Nike, so I switched in 2020. Prior to that, I did manage a 9:13 mile (to the best of my recollection). I’m not attempting to do that well again. I’m just putting in the effort to run consistently. Process over outcome.
