For Boxing Day, I didn’t box, but rather did a run where I intentionally left my Garmin at home so it would not record the results and make it very crazy for me to hit my Strava monthly goals without it. It was my way to symbolically let go of these monthly Strava goals for next year, when I plan to be running less mileage, but faster mileage, swapping the time saved for new physical activities light stretching. Now, I engage in enough crazy activities in my life where, if I did change my mind tomorrow, I could still hit all these goals, but the idea is that I won’t. I’ve got enough crazy things I plan to do in 2023 and I don’t need to start now and end up suffering from crazy activity fatigue [a new psychological condition I will be proposing the American Psychological Association to put in their manual of psychological disorders in 2023 lol]. I will also plan to be walking less than the roughly 750 km I will have recorded walking this year, with somewhere between 50 and 100 but I forgot to record. This was the walk after the run and lunch, to let my decisions sink in and consult with the mermaids on the waterfront to see what they thought of my solution. They just thought I was crazy. However, he thought these ideas I that I share in my Strava posts, along with me claiming they exist and that I talk to them, would be fantastic for a creative nonfiction running book. Some people have written books from their running journals, but nobody has ever written a fantastical running journal that mine would be, with a running narrative and plot lines throughout no less! And I also have Kindle book design and publishing experience from something I picked up during Covid lockdown. Well, I thought they were crazy! Mutual Lol. It then dawned upon us why we liked each other so much. It wasn’t because I was gregarious and athletic, and they were curvy, wet and topless. It was because we were all crazy, in good ways, and were energized By being around other good-crazy people… and all that energy moving the ocean waters that we could absorb through our skin to recharge ourselves! Hmmm… I guess I had better rethink that opposites attract theory I am adamant about being more correct than the likes attracting theory most people seem to prefer. But since neither is overwhelmingly crazy, maybe I should just come up with a better one in 2023. We’ll just have to wait and see! 🙂
