I mean this sincerely, do public apologies ever help in situations like this? Anecdotally, I always seem to see them backfire as insincere or insufficient.
What makes a huge difference for me is having a progression plan and tracking my progress. With both running and lifting, it’s easy to set short term and long term goals and see yourself reach them week after week. That helps with building the habit, and the habit is all you need.
Agree with this and the following FTA:
'Norm was a pure comic. He once wrote that ‘a joke should catch someone by surprise, it should never pander.’ He certainly never pandered. Norm will be missed terribly.”'
