πŸ“… 24th of February – Rank 1 Wandering Bard Achieved! 🎸

πŸŒ… Slow Start & Mindfulness Check-In

⏰ Time Check: 5:10 AM – It took me ages to get out of bed today. I only set one alarm for 4:20 AM and decided to skip my usual 3:15 AM backup alarm. I figured if I was that tired, I needed the extra sleep.

🎯 Mindfulness & Gratitude:

  • πŸ™ Grateful for: Fans – Seriously, I can’t sleep without one. I get way too hot without that constant breeze.
  • πŸ‘ Compliment to Myself: Good on me for listening to my body and taking a rest day instead of running myself into the ground.

πŸ”₯ Takeaway: Sometimes, the best thing you can do is let yourself rest.


πŸƒ Evening Run & New Personal Bests

🌧️ Weather: Overcast but no rain. Decided to push myself and ended up setting two new personal bests:

  • πŸ… 1 KM: 6 minutes and 10 seconds – Not my treadmill record, but still great for outdoor running.
  • πŸ… 1 Mile: 10 minutes and 12 seconds – First time tracking my mile outdoors!

πŸ’ͺ Biggest Win: Even after feeling sluggish all day, I went for the run and pushed through a calf cramp by jogging slower instead of stopping completely.

πŸ”₯ Takeaway: Progress isn’t always prettyβ€”sometimes it’s about pushing through discomfort.

🎸 Practice Session:

  • ⏰ Played for 20 minutes after my run, even though my fingertips were sore.

  • πŸ€” Lesson Learned: I need to plan better if I’m going to try fasting again.
