Help me run easy—I go too hard

I have a problem where I push myself too hard because it’s so fun to be out running after many years off. As a result, I sprained my ankle and am working through a return to run plan. Even in my run blocks, I’m pushing myself to go faster.

I know intellectually that I need to embrace the easy run but it’s really hard for me mentally! How can I reframe it? I’m really motivated to avoid injury and this is a key problem area for me.

Managing project status updates

I’m a fairly new PC with a Director that struggles keeping on top of what is happening in a complex project. Essentially, if you ask the boss “where are we with this part of the project, there’s a 50/50 shot that they can answer.)

We lost a key team member who was keeping boss updated/acting as historical memory, so now it’s falling to me. We have Work Management / pro (I think)

I’m working on a way to collect status updates and report them out so that details stop getting lost. Here’s what I’ve created:

A single board in Monday that has a status (red green yellow). Anything that happens during the week, I feed into the status “updates” area, which is an ongoing feed. This gets auto-summarized into a column. At the end of the week, I run an AI agent to create an executive summary of the status/updates.

Questions: what do you think of this plan overall? Should I retain ownership of the board or should I allow my team to send updates to it?

I’m hoping to also build out our task board to auto-update this board.

I’m also hoping to use this summary to reduce our team meeting which goes up to two hours. I would like to guide it towards decisions/stuck points rather than updates. I cannot stress enough that my boss does not know/retain what’s going on/loses everything in the inbox. Send help

Am I doing this right? Status reports

I’m a fairly new PC with a Director that struggles keeping on top of what is happening in a complex project. Essentially, if you ask the boss “where are we with this part of the project, there’s a 50/50 shot that they can answer.)

We lost a key team member who was keeping boss updated/acting as historical memory, so now it’s falling to me. We use Monday.com.
