Conclusion

Lost 1 lb of weight and 1 inches off my waist since we started on November 21.
Since I reached my goal of running 3 miles, and then 3.2 miles (5K) so early, I decided that I’ll work up to 4 miles per run, and then try to up my time until the 5K race in the spring. The blood blisters on both feet are starting to shrink! 😂
According to Strava, I logged 21.69 miles of outdoor walks over 8 hours 9 minutes, 1 hour 10 minutes of bike riding, and 10.13 miles of running over 2 hours this week!
