2 weeks into trying to build a running habit and I’m already worried I’ll mess it up.
Started with short walk-run laps at the park near me, nothing intense, just alternating a few minutes each way. Did it 3 times this week and it felt fine. Maybe too fine.
Work’s been quiet lately so I had time and kept adding distance without really meaning to. Not sure if I should pull back now before a busy project week hits and running quietly disappears again like it always does.
Also not gonna lie, a couple of those free evenings were supposed to go toward packing (we’re moving soon) and turned into hours on a game instead.
Anyone who started later in life, how did you know when to hold steady instead of adding more? And how do you keep some kind of routine once work picks back up?
