Days of the Week: Runner's Edition

I saw someone make a reel on instagram of everything they wore each day of the week. I immediately thought I should do that with running or at least workouts for the week.  Once I did that, I ended up getting a bunch of suggested reels with other people doing their week's worth of running. 

I ended up making 2 videos.

1SE 2020

I went back to 2020 and put a second video on all the dates that only had one. I also finished November and December. The video is kind of long. I think it might be more fun to watch only 1 month at a time so you don't lose interest by the end. But anyway here it is. It was very time consuming to do.

1SE 2021

Apparently I used to do monthly posts with 1SE but here is all of 2021. The app was horrible for awhile for awhile and it'd take me 1-3 minutes just to get a video for 1 day.   For 2021 I went with vertical instead of horizontal.

I also made monthly goals for 6 items all year and documented. the goals for some contributed to the goals above but other ones were unrelated. 

As of 12/29/21

I made almost every single month. Sometimes I'd get my push-ups 3 days early and other times I had to do so many the last 2 days just. to get enough. 

A few days ago I started to do a compiled file and made a pivot table by year. I guess missing a couple months really had me miss the  year 

as of 12/29. I worked out more after!

The goal for run miles I actually hit my yearly goal but when I broke it down by month I had rounded up knowing I wouldn't make it some months.  So maybe I should have a separately yearly goal in my spreadsheet.
