This weekend marks 1200 days of No Balrog. The big Balrog, not the Minion. This is a Full Moon Weekend. This is a Fast weekend.
And it's a travel/kids weekend. And it started yesterday with the Minion putting me to bed.
When would 1200 days of No Minion be? December 22, 2025. Holy shit that's a long ways away.
And May 30, 2019 is a long ways away. Seems like a lifetime. I went back in the blog archives to see what was going on, and I think that on May 30 I didn't set a decision to stop but rather I stopped days later and back-calculated. On the 30th I was running 20-25 mile trail runs, biking with the group at TrailNet rides, and writing about more schedule changes - like how to run 100 miles in a week and how to get two-a-days in. I wrote this:
Morning Mid Afternoon
Monday M bike (upper strength)
Tuesday S run+plys (core)
Wednesday L run or commute run
Thursday M run (S or hills bike)
Friday Rest
Saturday L bike or run (swims good here)
Sunday L bike or run (...and here)
I'm still writing things like this, that hasn't changed.
Numbers: Hennepin 22 days away. Minion 14 hours ago. 16 hr IF for 78 days. Clean until noon 82 days. Stopped the internet 105 days ago. Moved in together 1012 days ago. Balrog 1198 days ago (as of this writing).
Balrog and Move in were only about 200 days apart. They almost touched.
Well I still want to make a schedule, not sure if two-a-day is possible and certainly a 100 mile week is not possible. I read those old posts, and miss who I used to be.
What do I really want, I need to start there. That's the goal this weekend. Just figure things out. Plenty of time on the plane, waiting in layovers.
As if today was May/June 2019 and I realized some hard truths (as I did in early June) and I decided to change - what would that change be?
