Day 212
I was just looking back at last year resolutions, to get some ideas for this year. They were not bad.
1. eating healthier – kind of did that. At least during July and August, I cooked my own meals.
2. train more consistently – I certainly stepped on my runs last year, while giving going to the gym.
3. Make new friends, yes. I deepened my relationship with couple people and it was rewarding experience. Some are online like you dear readers.
4. camping by myself – yes, I went to Wild Oak and ran the loop, while camping the night before all by myself. I planned some smaller trips (like Seattle). The Patagonia trip, though didn’t plan or led it myself, it was definitely very challenging and rewarding.
5. saving money – ahh. 2019 was unbelievable in term of investing and numbers by measurement aspect, and made quite a gain myself. Yet I spent significantly more and my earned income was not that much to begin with, so I was near the point of being bankrupt after my trip to Chile. I think I have less money in the bank now than when I was in college!
I had to stop eating out for a while and I was digging up food from over the places. I found cooked meals left in the company freezer I prepared back in July and ate those. Of course, I got sick after I ate them. I found frozen chicken breasts in the freezer from also July. I cook those too and got sick as well after eating. Any way, I survived. That was my start of the new 2020!
Also I was begging a coworker of mine for money for a race. I run ‘Run my heart Out’ every February, but this year, I don’t have the money yet to pay for it. It is $40-50 depending if I get the early registration. My coworker rolled her eyes. I should put up a go fund me.
A joke for all runners each new year is we all try to run as many races we can afford and a few we can’t.
