Well, I did zero 10Ks, but I did start running for 15 minutes every week (a tiny thing, but a slow start)
Collected a bunch of haikus into a book

Tentative New Years’ Resolutions:

Do some random acts of making (e.g. see what mobile apps are like these days: make a small little app 😀)
One more 1000-piece puzzle (!!)
Write a small book about … something
Run a 10K (🤞)
