Run went well tonight considering I really didn’t want to get on the treadmill – Wednesdays are always a rough go – both kids have activities on Wednesday nights and once they are in bed I am feeling pretty drained and spending an hour on the treadmill sound exhausting….but I usually manage to pull it…

220.5 – 220 after 2.09 in 19:28 222 after 4.02 in 30 min at 1% and 0.16 miles in 2.5 minutes at 10% Weird ass weight jump today – I think I can attribute it to the string cheese I have been taking to work as part of my lunch as a quick way to…
