I am Michael Bitson and so far I’ve gotten in at least a 5k a day this month. Many times it’s been a 10k, which is a huge increase for me since last year!
Won’t lie, I’m hurting a bit. I’m not as young as I once was. Plus doing more distance. And I don’t recover as fast as I used to. I think I’m crazy but I’m no quitter; this is going to be done all the way through!
My favorite part has been getting to often walk the last mile with my daughters.I’ve timed it well most times to meet them as they get out of school. I hope they don’t get tired of me doing that.
Awesome! Way to keep going!
