Today was the 25th iteration of the Tunnels to Towers in New York City. And I ran in it. You can see the stats up above.

The Daily Prompt – No. 334
Share a hobby you’ve picked up recently — what got you into it?
I’ve recently gotten back into running. I was looking for a way to shed extra pounds from my frame. I was running with a club that meets monthly but lately I’ve added extra runs into my fitness routine.
I got into it more when someone I met at the club told me about Strava. I had seen the app before but I wasn’t able to use it because I had an old phone that was filled to the brim.
Anyway, I downloaded it. When I saw that I could track my runs and incorporate the outputs and exercise into my other fitness apps, I became more motivated to run. It gave me numbers to hit and strive for. I wanted to see how much I could do and how many calories I was burning. Let me tell you, it was a revelation.
Now, I’m not necessarily a running enthusiast, but I’m picking up the habit again from 6 years ago. Back then everything was closed, including the gyms. I was at my lowest weight ever and quite possibly my fittest since I discovered the Insanity home workout program.
Can I beat 2020 me?

Strava Streak
10 weeks and counting, PTL This app has been really good for me. It’s helps me keep track of the distances I’ve covered, and calories I’ve burned. This and MyFitnessPal have been my accountability partners this summer.
