Hello, fast moving, good looking runner 👋
I trust you had a fantastic celebration to mark the start of a new year. Me? Oh, it was great. I was in bed by 9:30 PM, and got a good night's sleep to start the new year well rested when the kids turned out in the early morning hours. Well, actually, my wife took the first few hours. Because I started the year with a long run!
This week’s theme is consistency. I want to begin by sharing a quote from the always insightful James Clear:
"Consistency before intensity.
Start small and become the kind of person who shows up every day. Build a new identity.
Then increase the intensity."
Take it from James, who literally wrote the book on habits. No matter where you are in your running journey, aim for consistency.
Speaking of consistency, my favourite language learning service Babbel is back as sponsoring the newsletter this week. My thanks to them. If you haven’t already signed up, check out their current special offer, and get up to 55% off!
