Previous post referring to being back in the swing of things was a bit premature as I wound up spending some time in Nashville for my friend's birthday. So today is really the first day fully back to real-life after the Holidays.

As per New Year Resolutions, I impressed myself by running 1.4 miles at 7mph this morning. Curious how long I could really go. Interesting how much of a mental thing it is. Not like it's totally effortless, but I think my stopping point is largely defined by boredom. Last spring when I really started trying to run, my first big feat was running a ten-minute mile, which amounted to 6mph. So it's progress anyway, though I weighed in at 161.5, representing a holiday accumulation of something like 5-9 lbs...

Church attendance isn't starting well, missing both Sundays thus far, but did start a daily reading plan on the Bible app that I've stuck with and gotten back into my DuoLingo French, which wasn't a resolution but is still nice.

Need to carve out a plan for the short fiction goals, but did take time to review a chapter of Roebuck last night, which I'll hopefully repeat tonight.
