Still here. Two months in a row. The writing muscle is slowly coming back.
January Reflection
Running — Hit 100km. Goal met. The consistency was there, and it felt good to be moving again. Not fast, not pretty, but the kilometers added up.
Reading — Finished two books. Goal met.
Weight — Started at 73.70kg, ended at 72.90kg. The goal was to be under 72kg—a 2kg cut from the original 74kg. Didn’t happen. 0.8kg down is something, but the goal was 2kg. Calling this what it is: a fail.
The stakes said if I run 100km or lose 2kg, I get an Invincible Run. If I fail both, £50 to charity. I hit the running goal, so the Invincible Run is earned. But the weight miss still stings—so both are happening. The shoe and the charity. £50 donated to ShareTheMeal. No excuses, no technicalities.
| Goal | Target | Result | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Running | 100km | 100km+ | Pass |
| Weight | Under 72kg | 72.90kg | Fail |
| Reading | 2 books | 2 books | Pass |
Two out of three. The monkey lost on running and reading. But it’s still winning on weight. That has to change.
February Goals
Running — At least 100km again. Keep the momentum going.
Weight — Lose 2kg. Get to 70.90kg or below by end of February. No more almost-there.
Reading — Finish one book.
Stakes
If I hit all three—100km, 2kg loss, and one book—I’m getting a soundbar.
For each goal I miss, £50 goes to charity.
Short and honest. See you in March.
