Here is the running log I have for the entire year:

And if you prefer seeing a graph:

I created markets for the next months too:

If i'm able to keep running well, I'd like to complete a half-marathon (and a potential marathon) this year (2024) and the next (2025).

However, I understand running a marathon is quite a lofty goal from the start. That's why I'd like to run as much as I can (in a healthy non-injury-risking way) to make myself ready to make an attempt.

after most of the Jan being a NO, today is a YES :)

bought Ṁ10 of Answer #bccd4ecdffc3 NO

@firstuserhere , did you go running the past 2 days?
I greatly encourage the running, my no bets are not a sign of being pessimistic about you running. Just that my base rate estimate is you should go running like once every 2-3 days rather than every other day as you get past the initial stage.

@Fedor no, I didn't go, cold makes it harder but I do plan to keep mentally struggling/trying until it's a habit

bought Ṁ900 of January 11 NO

@firstuserhere You go out there and get em. It's hard to get started, especially in January.

Btw, I suggest closing the market the day before, to prevent people from buying/selling stock the day of.

@stoneocean like today, you put the result of the market in the table, but you didn't close the market

@stoneocean unfortunately we cannot close individual options, so i can't do anything about that

the only solution as it appears to me is to close and reopen the market daily

@firstuserhere hmm... i guess that makes sense. can you close the market at the same time you put a log in the table or is that not possible for some reason?

@stoneocean it is, the only problem in that is that every time a market is opened and closed, it sends a notification to all the participants

tagging @Eliza and @SirSalty to help raise this issue with the team

@firstuserhere There is an outstanding request to set individual closing date on options in unlinked MC. So far it has been requested for NUMEROUS different scenarios from totally different parts of Manifold.

I rate it unlikely to happen within the month.

@Eliza Ah well. I'm not in favor of closing/reopening/sending traders notifs daily for the same. so in that case, i can just update roughly at the same time, post that time here for traders to remember for some sort of regularity.

January 10

For two travel days, a third consecutive day seems reasonably likely

bought Ṁ10,000 of January 6 NO

My fever appears to be getting better. I am likely to go on a run tomorrow.

@lastuserhere Fever ok but I went on a short 2 day trip and didn't run while traveling. I'm back, no fever, and will establish a streak now by running daily for the next 5 days

bought Ṁ20 of January 11 YES

@lastuserhere good luck, I'm betting on you!

Disclaimer: I want to be a runner, but I do not want to get out of the warm house to go on a run. Especially tomorrow as I am sick at the moment.

many such cases

@lastuserhere Buy lots of warm running clothes so you have plenty of layers. Hat and gloves too if it'd help. Use the 2-minute rule and just make yourself go outside and stop jogging, but allow yourself to come back in after 2 minutes if you don't want to continue.

@WilliamKiely start* jogging

bought Ṁ618 of January 9 NO

@WilliamKiely Yes, i've stocked on the winter running clothing and going to test it tomorrow

bought Ṁ10,000 of January 4 NO
