I wrote a list of plans for this summer and I think it's time to evaluate.
The trip with my brother was a complete letdown but it was nice having him visit anyway I guess. People drift apart and it's hard to read someone from a distance. At least now I know I prefer to travel alone or with my immediate family.
We did do the repairs to the house and that's the major milestone this year. Of course that led to us talking about selling and moving eventually, which would be interesting but not something I'm looking forward to at this point.
We did go to concerts and restaurants, went to the beach a number of times and even made plans for the future that I'm really looking forward to. I didn't complete the exercise challenge but I did greatly improve my running. I can do 10k in 55 minutes now - before the summer I did 5k in 27 minutes and 7k at most. I'm now aiming to do a sub 50 minutes 10k and maybe maybe a 20 minute 5k. Eventually I'll get around to running my first ever 15k as well.
Some of the plans for the summer extended into the fall, and as usual these plans seem to be pushed a bit to the future. I want to go alone into the wilderness and I want to do some urban travel alone as well. But I can't be sure any of that will happen this year.
