Fitness. Chicago went great until 24 miles then I had to walk run to prevent cramping. I was on pace for 2:40 or under, but lost a good 4 minutes in the last 2 miles to finish a 2:44. I wrote up more about my race and the prep on my blog. Now it's time for two weeks off and then training for Boston!
Intellectual stuff: Bopping around a lot of books right now, trying to finish some up. Highlights include War and Peace, War and Peace and War, and the Vital Question. The first is with my girlfriend, the second is for philosophy book club, and the third is so I can write a blog post on the origins of life to push back against some creationist substackers who are arguing that abiogenesis is impossible.
Finances: My parents transferred another third of the money to my account yesterday, meaning I can start talking to realtors about buying a house in the spring. Spending so far this month: $1800.
Dating. Didn't see my girlfriend all week, but called/FaceTimed her which was good!
Tarot. No session this week.
Socializing: Saw a bunch of friends at the Chicago Marathon, spent some time with my parents, and went to the beach with my friend Jeff.
Screen time: 1.6 hours phone
Meditation: started Buteyko breathing, which has been helpful for giving me more motivation for meditation. 3 sessions last week.
