Observations:
10/10 on checklist today! I met with some former coworkers for lunch. I didn’t pick the restaurant, but I was pleasantly surprised that it had vegan options.
I changed my walk/jog interval (from 4 min walk/30 sec jog to 3:30 min walk/30 sec jog). I barely made it (it was very humid), but I MADE IT! The goal is to decrease the time it takes to do the 3 miles. It used to take a full hour so progress is being made.
