Running

I'm sticking with it. Took a running break today (12 September 2020) and took a nice long hike in the rain. 

Labor day (7 September 2020) I hit a bit of a milestone and ran two miles!

Running

Running? On Troy's page? Maybe jogging, or silly looking speedwalking would be a better description?

Learning that obesity put me at a greater risk of dying of covid-19 was a bit of a wake up call and I'm trying to work on that. 

I'm working from home and with no commute I have a bit more time to do something about it. Toward the end of July 2020 I started walking a mile every day at lunch at the greenway at the end of the block. One day I started jogging a bit, the next day I did a bit more, and so on. One Saturday when I was frustrated with a video game, (and frustrated with myself for being frustrated with a video game) I went to the end of the block for my walk and in a self-hatred fueled rage I ran the whole loop, about .85 mi. 

I had done it once, knew that I could, and I've been doing it most every day since. Been adding a partial loop or weaving to get my phone to register a full mile, and been trying to get that mile to under 14 minutes. 

"Progress" It looks like I was getting slower? Maybe I was. Seems like the music I listen to has an impact. I'm open to your suggestions.
