Week 12/52
Sorry I missed posting this the last couple of weeks. It was due to a change in how I use the computer, I always forget until it’s too late.
This week was really good, especially Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday. I basically worked continuously with no distractions on those days.
1. I missed this goal a couple weeks ago. However, this was due to the course being crazy hard (my friend who usually gets ~17 minutes in the 5K got ~21 minutes!). I do think I have the physical capability to do a sub-20 5K though.
2. I’m up to 284 miles in total. This is slightly below where I need to be, but I’m not super worried. When cross-country season starts I will really increase my mileage.
4. There’s only 1 really “hard” thing in school left (other than finals) which is happening tomorrow. After that I can basically grind and finish.
Happy New Year everyone!
I spend too much time on wasteof. But of all the places on the internet, this is the only one that is worth coming back to multiple times a day.
Now, I present my goals for 2024. The goals are all specific and quantifiable, so I can measure if I complete them. Here they are:
Run a 5k in under 20 mins by March, under 18 mins by August, and under 16 mins by November
Run over 1500 miles in total
Run a race every month - except January because I can’t find a single convenient race that month.
Finish school early - I’m on track to finish 1-2 weeks early, so I want to keep, if not improve, that lead
Bring the wasteof iOS app to feature parity with wasteof2 by July, and to parity with wasteof4 by November
Do some other big coding project
Read the book of John, taking it slowly through the book - Goal is 3-4 verses per day, John has 879 verses so it should take up the majority of the year
Become (at least) friends with my crush. “Becoming friends” is defined as getting her phone number. I won’t see her until August, though and I barely know her. And I’m the most awkward person ever. We’ll see.
Buy an iPhone 16 Pro Max and Apple Watch Series 10 when they come out.
Get a driver’s license by August - I need 60 hours of driving practice in total, I have about 10 so far. I haven’t been trying though.
Get a job.
Repost this weekly with progress updates on what I’ve done to keep myself accountable.
2023 was the greatest year of my life. 2024 will be even better. Let’s get it.
