Step by step, mile by mile

on a 5 day streak of 6 miles so hopefully that means i'm here to stay. Gonna bump it up 2 more daily miles every week until either my body tells me to back off or I hit 100 weekly. Today's run was took 40 minutes, I'm not too into pace currently, I just play an album while I'm running and check how far I got in at the end.

I've been doing all my runs on this dirt road about 10 miles out of town. a few days ago it flooded so I parked a quarter mile into the road, ran a quarter mile to where the flooding started, and back to the back of the road, so a mile out and back in total. I like it. It's short enough where it all blends together and goes by quickly, but long enough that I don't get bored and stop early like I do with laps at the park usually.

Hope everyone's been well!

Told myself in the morning it was too cold to run, but once the sun came out around noon and the windchill died down I got the miles in. Bumping up to 8 a day tomorrow!

farthest I've ran in almost 2 years. barely under 7 min pace, that was a good feeling bc I really wasn't putting in much effort, just easy running.

I've also been going to the gym in the evening. My routine so far is bike for 15 minutes to loosen up my legs, lift(mainly upper body), stretch, do core, and hit the steam room. Longest I've managed in there is 15 minutes so far.

8 again. 50 degrees and sunny out, perfect running weather. picked it up the last mile, i don’t know the split but it took 54 minutes in total. very tired from studying, and i have lots of schoolwork the next week so might not have time for the gym. definitely not tonight.
