Update: I'm now able to run for 5 minutes consistently. Pretty pathetic, I know, but that's up from 3 minutes last week. Looking forward to losing all my progress once christmas rolls around!
Progress is progress and you shouldn't diminish it or yourself. Keep going and I'm sure Christmas won't derail you too much.
I'm thinking of taking up Muay Thai or Boxing in the new year. I like the idea of working on some sort of self defence and striking appeals far more than grappling. I believe the idea of a swift punch or knee and running away being the best form of self-defence.
