Today was great - started off with a 4.5 mile walk around the lake with a great friend, and then tennis at night. Also had book club on nonviolent communication which was awesome - I left feeling connected to the others in the group and like I learned a lot. Fitting that the book club was on the last day of the challenge!

Ok! I think through this challenge I’m officially back to running somewhat respectably. I ran 3 miles this morning and it really wasn’t a big deal. Yesterday I played tennis with a friend and also am almost done with the NVC book. I’m applying things I learned in that book and having better conversations! Which is awesome.

Woot! Woke up and did a 4 mile run and managed to run the whole time with negative splits. Super proud of getting back into shape. And I feel like I’m making a lot of progress with my mindset and turning into the person I want to be.

Goal: do something active every day and focus on relationships (of all types) Progress: I did two strength training sessions this week, plus all my runs and tennis! It felt good. I also had really great conversations with friends and coworkers. I also set up two meetings and had them to explore psychology and business and potential routes at my current job, which is awesome. Plus, I’m meeting up with someone tomorrow to talk about going back to school to be a therapist. Changing my career wasn’t part of my original Stf challenge, but I’m happy to be progressing in that area regardless!

Needed a break from this for a few days! But I did manage my goal of being active every day, and today I ran 4 miles (side note the heat was killer this evening). I also got more into the nonviolent communication book and had some good conversations with friends over the last few days that were really inspiring. I’ll respond to comments / messages / tags tomorrow!
