Wow, that's quite a life you live back then, @rossdcurrie.

Achieve one thing every day, that's like the increase 1% improvement every day that Kaizen advocates. Everyday just run for 1 minute longer, and before you know it, in a month, you're doing an additional half hour!

Don't be too hard on yourself, chief. I like to thing those 10 months give you enough experience to 1) not want to do it anymore now, and 2) tell really good hangover stories. All in all, I like to think it's building the muscle of hindsight thinking. It's always best to live life forward.
