The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Notes -
Dogshit, the best I can say is I finished. I completed the whole thing at around a 5mph speed, which was a mix of running and walking for me. I could probably run more, fitness wise, if I actually trained for the pace I wanted to hit, instead of just getting it into my head to go do it one day like a moron; in this case primarily because I wanted to spend more quality time on the island and my wife needed to leave early, so waking up early and wandering around the whole island seemed like a good way to cram more in.
All day workouts are fun. One of the reasons I love the kettlebell.
