What did you change about your life during the 12 months of Covid?

Went from powerlifting into marathon training because gyms are closed.

Couple things I learned about myself:
  • My body is much more prone to injury for cardiovascular training
  • I am able to endure a lot of pain, to the point where I need to tell myself to **** off
    • Had a few instances where I pushed through the pain for a few days, only to make it worse the next day lol
  • I can run 40km+ weeks without training but cannot sustain past 5 weeks without getting injured
  • Yelling "ON YOUR LEFT/RIGHT" to pass people who can't walk in a straight line scares the living **** out of them 99% of the time
The biggest and most (literally) painful lesson: all the injuries I built up over the years were being compensated through powerlifting; as my muscles atrophy, I am feeling pain in the areas I have messed up in the past.

The plus side? I'm eating 2.6k to 4k calories a day, and I'm still losing weight lol. There's also a massive sense of pride knowing the vast majority are losing athletic performance; I'm only getting better (err..at least until a certain age lol.)

I ran all winter and as soon as the weather started getting better, started slacking.

Go figure

I dunno I dont like it when things are easy for some reason
 
Went from buzz cut hairstyle for the last 20 years to mid back pony tail. Tried the beard thing but it's patchy and very grey - not liking that so much. Did more walking and general exercise so have lost a few pounds that needed to be lost.
Biggest change is in the last 4 weeks - sold my house, retired from work, bought a new home in Nova Scotia. Last day of working is end of this month , then get some time to enjoy riding the bike before heading out east in Mid June
