This morning riding the train into Lausanne and with a 3rd of the year so far behind me, I thought it a good time to reflect on the goals laid out in my first post of the year. I'm 23 books into my goal of reading 50 this year, but the summer and fall months are usually leaner in the reading department. Getting down to 90 kg has been a disaster as I've really made no progress. Running miles will ramp up in the warmer months, but I'm going to make some dietary changes as well this month to see it I can't make some progress. Somewhere between the success of these two has been my goal of running 25 km per week; while on average I am above this threshold, 4 of the 17 weeks I have missed the mark. Two of those I can chalk up to having Covid, but two were from slacking while traveling. The last two were travel goals. I completed one visiting Fribourg and Jura early on in the year and in fact I travelled through Fribourg again today. The early success and the availability of races in Switzerland has lead me to a follow-on goal to race in every Canton, where I'm 8/26 so far. Finally the goal of visiting 4 new countries is well under way, having visited Turkey, Czechia and Slovakia during the past couple months. I will likely go to a conference in Dublin later this year to complete this goal. So 1/5 is complete and 4/5 are still doable this year - not bad, if I do say so myself.
