Season “Investing time in myself” · Episode 8

The loop

Repeat · 1 November 2026

The loop for this season measures what the episodes before it describe. Starting point, as of 1 November 2026:

  • Hours per week: 2 to 3 today. Before the injury it was about 15, and 10 to 15 is the range I did the math for in "Health buys time".
  • Weight: around 20 kilos more than a year ago.
  • The operation in November 2026: hopefully the last one. After it, this is where I'll write how the ankle is doing.
  • The first race after: still open.

Why I write this down: in the year after the injury, no decision replaced training. Other routines quietly took over. A number with a date makes something like that visible while it's still small. I want to decide what I do with my hours, not my body and not yesterday's habit.

Open question. How long does the way back take when you have no sports background and start from zero? I don't know. The answer goes here, with a date, as soon as I have it.

This time I'm keeping notes, so I notice when another routine takes over again.
