@Big_Diggity yeah, when I started running (to enjoy it, which did eventually happen) I had lost a bunch of weight. Due to life's craziness, the broken leg, and falling out of good habits.... I've gained the weight back.

One percent is doable.... Any day. Even after a year it would be adding a fraction of a mile... Hoping this can help be sustainable and healthy habit building.

As tired as I am today, it still seems goofy to stop at exactly 1.03 miles. But the math doesn't lie, I'm going to follow the experiment.
