    Running’s a hobby, right? A healthy one at that. I started running 3-4 miles almost daily since August, lost a good 15-20* pounds at my peak this year, and just this week I joined the big running clubs in the city on the Strava app AND did the big weekly Monday Night Run. I also did 3.5 miles Monday morning and then the 5.5 mile run with the group that evening. That 5.5 is the furthest I’ve run since I picked running back up as a hobby. A friend of mine has wanted to get me to 10 miles, but even when I was running in my 20s I stopped at around 6 because of knee issues. Idk if I’ll get to 10, but I like where my pace is and that I can get to 6 miles now.

    Also, tomorrow’s the Thanksgiving 5k I signed up for the other day, so that’s this week too.

    After the new year I think I’m going to change my race preference from 5Ks to 10Ks. I’ve been going to a race once every 2-3 weeks, pretty much.
