I could barely do 1 mile at 15 mins. Now I’m doing two miles in 15 mins 🙌

Keep pushing for your goals!

Now it’s time for the gym

Effort 8.5/10 - Difficult Run - Decent Pace

I decided to go to the track today and run a half marathon, there was multiple occasions when I wanted to give up

I pushed through the pain, the feeling of defeat and conquered my goal

You guys can too, believe in yourself
I don’t allow myself to go back home till I finish or can’t move anymore

Push yourself or else you’ll never grow /success
It's my rest day but I want to go running, decisions decisions.

Might stay home and try code, but wife is getting pizza tonight so I need to resist the urge to eat it.

If I run, I lost time with learning. If I stay home, I most likely will eat a ton of pizza lol.

F it I'm going on a run!

May 27th, 2024 - 8 mile run

Based off this data

I’m starting my runs off a little too fast of a pace

First 6 miles felt great then plummeted last 2 miles (7m and 8m)

I wanted to give up on the final mile, I almost gave in but I remembered why I run in the 1st place.

It’s too stay healthy and motivate others
