Feeling more calm than I've felt in quite some time. Sounds like it is noticeable too, based on the number of people who have told me "you've been really, really chill lately". Kind of doing my own thing, getting a lot done at work, back to long runs (17 miles each of the last 2 Saturdays, 13 miles the Saturday before that) to train for my next 50k. Rock climbing is off to an AWESOME start to the season.

Most importantly, I'm learning how to say no to things and to people. Maintaining Tuesday and Wednesday nights as my "routine" nights where I go to a run club, and go gym climbing with the same friend, respectively. Feeling...good? Content and like I'm actually committing to myself and some goals I have for this year, and finding ways to learn and be okay with the trade-offs I'm making to pursue them, which is a new feeling.
