OTF Marathon Month - Half 13.1 miles

Since joining OrangeTheory Fitness in January 2023, I've attended over 100+ classes and lost 27 pounds in addition to taking medication. My A1C went from 8.9 in December (Diabetic) to 5.1 in August (non-Diabetic).

I considered weight-loss surgery in the beginning of the year after reaching my highest weight during the pandemic, but friends and family discouraged it. I'm currently tracking my running to do another 5K in October to beat MDW time.

8/1 - 0.8 miles 16 mins

8/2 - 1.66 miles 27:40 mins

8/4 - 1.4 miles 24 mins

8/5 - 1.55 miles 27 mins
