Hello comrades and welcome to the first improvement megathread of May! It's the first Sunday of May, a great time to set your goals for the month.

As usual, some discussion ideas:

  • What would you like to focus on in May?
  • Do you want to share something you've done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
  • Do you have any goals for next week?
  • Do you have any streaks? For example, "sober for one day." Feel free to post your streak every day in this thread.
  • If you don't have a continuous streak, did you manage to abstain from something for a day or more?
  • Did you come across some useful information or resource that might help others?

Good luck with your goals! unity

    Went to the gym for the first time in a few months and feel pretty good. Plan on going at least 3 times a week from now on.

    I also continued running and my stamina is getting better. When I started I was able to do 4 miles, but with a lot of pausing. I cut my runs down to 2 miles and focused on trying to complete the entire run without stopping. Last week I hit my personal best 8:59 mile, with a bit of a pause about mile 1.2. Decided to pull back a bit and finished the entire 2 mile run with a pace at about 10 minutes. I felt like going a bit further even, but didn't have enough time since I had to get ready for work.
