Made it to Loop 5 on the #465Challenge!

2/24/2020

Yesterday's 7.3 mile run put my #465Challenge at 266.47 miles. I've completed 5 Loops of the virtual I-465 run! Each loop is 53 miles; I've been working on it since January 1st.

I'm tracking my miles on a chart provided by the race organizers.

I have a race on February 29, which is the last day of the challenge. That will give my total mileage a boost, but I'm doubtful I'll complete another loop in 6 days.

But...I'm not ruling it out yet!

For now, I'm all in on the LOOPER CLUB of the Inaugural 465 Challenge with 5 loops.

It's been an excellent way to keep moving, long after most new year's resolutions are forgotten!
