Not only am I back, but I'm back with a vengeance!
I began my run at 2:15. I vowed not to look at my watch again until the end. When I finished 10k I checked, hoping for a time of 90 minutes or less. My watch read 3:22.
Sixty-seven minutes? Is that even possible?!
I had to double check my route mileage. According to Google maps, my route is 850m. I ran it twelve times. Yep, that's 10.2k.
Still not convinced, I used Google maps to check the distance on a different path that I run, a park bicycle path that has official mileage signs. That route is marked as 1.5k. The result on Google? 1.5k.
Wow. I really did it!
By the way, I was reading my tape measure wrong after week 1, so the waist measurements weren't correct until today.

Wow! That's impressive! My friend has been exercising and is counting his calories. He's starting to lose weight and increasing his stamina. He says when he first started he could hardly run a mile. Three weeks later, he can run for miles.
