You may have noticed I've switched to biweekly posts. Yes, since there isn't as much to update, I don't think I need to post that often. Quick recap on progress:

Week 8 - 79% completion, same as week 7. Is that a sign of consistency???

Week 9 - 86%!!!!! I got into a pretty good groove last week, and managed to carry it through. Let's see if I can keep up that pace.

So about a week and a half ago, it was unseasonably warm. I decided that I would give myself a test to see just how much progress I had made - I went for a jog out in the *real world*. Long story short, I was able to keep just about the same pace and duration as I do on the treadmill inside. Big difference? Leg pain. I had forgotten just how much effect impact with solid ground has on the body. I was hobbling around for five days.

Overall though, it's a good indicator of just how much progress I've made so far. I'm consistently running 6k at a time now - that was unthinkable two months ago. My sleeping still isn't as good as I want it but I do feel better, so that's a plus.

Changes for this week:

Just bumped up to 50 minutes per day for exercise. No issues there - pretty comfortable at this duration.

My reading for this week is done already, so I have some time to start on my writing goal. I have the basic ideas for a poem and a short story, and I'm really pleased with both. Am I going to share? The poem, probably yes. The short story? Welllllll, let's see how it turns out first.

Anyway, that's everything for this time around. I hope everyone is having a good week. *Hugs* if you are, and *Hugs* if you aren't... Ah let's face it - *Hugs* all around! =]
