Bobcat Trail Half Marathon

Hey everyone! Let me quickly recap the goals for last week.  I was going to work out 5x for at least 30 minutes, not eat anything after 7:30, pack healthy lunches to avoid sugar cravings, and drink 100oz of water per day. I hit two-ish of those goals.  I did work out 5x this week
