The Joy of Racing Yourself

In this entry I realize I am almost completely recovered from August's Covid infection - recovered enough to race my past self in many different ways.

On the 21st of September Todd talks about the importance of persisting doing the things you love even when your mind tells you that you won't enjoy it or that it's pointless.
Also: Even if you don't read the whole entry, do go in and watch Demi Adejuyigbe's videos. They're a delight.
Shifting gears again I'm now moving from quantitative metrics that don't make sense to me to qualitative ones like: I had some nice bike rides, am reading interesting things and am feeling happier and sleeping better than before.
Today I have so much energy I could go to work *and* write the rest of the entry I wanted to write yesterday about how my body responded to being sick. I owe much of it for being able to really take it easy for 10 days, living like our cat Squishy.
While I intended to write a long post, COVID got in the way. I'm confident that more will come later as recovery is definitely well underway.
Pivoting from tracking metrics of sleep, stress, and exercise, Todd moves on to tracking mood and content consumption in the experiment to improve his overall mood and well being.
This week I continue to look at optimizing my exercise, diet and sleep goals and it's all improving! Along the way I share this week's POV cycling videos, and some new insights and correlations.
It was a slower week with a little less exercise, some stumbles in my routine but some bright spots in terms of quality and quantity of sleep. And most of all, avoiding getting sick.
This week Todd continues his project of optimizing his eating/sleeping/exercise routine and is taught a lesson by a rogue kottu roti.
After almost a month, Todd writes a post about what's happening, where he's been and why he's been so lax in posting. It's all good and all about disrupting internal and external algorithms!
