Author giving the thumbs up sign for hitting 750 miles for the year today. Halfway to year end goal.
Chart showing miles run in 2025. Includes three areas of no running due to setbacks. These setbacks were a 3 week AFib episode, a heart ablation to correct AFib issue, and a rib injury suffered when I stumbled on the treadmill. I was running pretty slow when it happened but it hurt like hell.
