I joined in on the Holiday Run Streak Challenge which is run at least one mile per day, every day, from November 22 until January 1. Due to my knee, there will be some days where I can only walk 1 the mile, but I'm participating anyway. I will also continue my Couch to 10k program and am currently on week 2 day 3.
