I hit a new post-surgery walking pace this morning: 15:08 minute mile.

I’ve been thinking a lot about whether or not I’ll get back on Strava, and I’m leaning towards no. I really liked the data, but I can get that with other apps. The social feature is a bit too painful when going through something like an epic injury. Most of all, though, I think it encouraged (for me) a lot of unhealthy habits and personal competition, and I really lost sight of my original goals and struggled to care about anything else. I couldn’t see this in the moment, but it’s pretty clear now. I don’t want to go back to that level of obsession.

I’m happy to hit this little milestone right before the six-week mark. But, ya know, I’m not obsessing over it or anything!
