Why Did I Think This Was a Good Idea?
4 February 2022
Competing against other people has never really motivated me. But competing against myself? Yes, please! I love to challenge myself to do more, to go further (read more books – HA!). In September, I challenged myself to walk at least 3 miles every day. And I did it! And then kept walking all through October … More Why Did I Think This Was a Good Idea?
Reflections and Aspirations on 1 January
