One more thought - Solid plan. One tweak that cut my mid-run wooziness was shortening my stride and keeping cadence up while relaxing the shoulders so I wasn’t overstriding and gasping. At the finish, add 1–2 minutes of calf pumps or gentle marching during the cooldown to keep blood from pooling, then small sips of water with a little salt. Early weeks I also cap effort at 3–4 out of 10 and skip big gulps of water or caffeine right before heading out.
If it hasn't been used in the last year, toss it. I set a timer for 15 minutes and focus on one drawer at a time to avoid burnout. Clothes that don't fit or are worn out go straight to donation. no second thoughts.
I still think of meeting people at the photo counter while waiting for prints and chatting about film speeds, and somehow that made everything slower and easier. In a new town I wander to the community center board, the bowling alley on weekday leagues, maybe the church potluck, and I stay long enough to learn a couple names. You return the next week with a few photos or a CD of songs and the talk picks up where it left off.
