My Actifit Report Card: June 29 2026

Happy Monday Actifiters!

It's the start of a new week and it is a positively beautiful Monday in the rogue valley.

I woke up early and got my Monday morning run. I'm up to 25 minutes of straight running time, though it's still more of a jog at this point. I am trying to take notice of my pace and will be looking at that more as time goes on.
According to the training app that I have, I should be able to do a 5K in just two more weeks!
I'm curious if I'll actually get there, or if I'll be lagging behind that a little bit. Even if I am short of it, I do think I will be pretty close.
I know my overall stamina has improved a lot over the past 2 months. And, I would say overall my energy level has improved too

It's an interesting thing to observe. Looking back that getting up earlier and running overall actually gives me more energy. I am probably getting just the same or even less sleep on some nights. But being more active I think has my body just running out of butter capacity.

I'm really grateful for God's grace to be able to stick with this running plan. And I've been seeing that this kind of exercise really just needs to be a part of my life all the time.

That said, even though I went for a run this morning, I did take a break in the afternoon to step away from my desk and go for a short walk. I had been sitting down most of the day and needed to take a break. It was nice to get some extra steps in and the weather today was perfect for being out in the afternoon.

As the more regular running and walking are helping on the physical endurance side of things, I am recognizing still a need to work on my diet and my sleep. Sometimes. Sometimes both of those are tough. Challenging to change old habits on both fronts LOL
But one step at a time. I'm going to try and do what I can to continue being healthy. Some of this I'm realizing through the process is also because I want to be able to be active with my kids when they're teenagers and to God willing be able to take care of grandkids 20 or 30 years down the road. If I don't work to take care of my body then I'll have less of a chance of being able to do those things. And I guess I would say they're becoming even more important as I get older

Anyways, I guess that's enough. Musings from me about my day and about activity and health. I hope you all are able to find ways to be active this week!
