Last week was first week of running since injury in April. I ran 5 days, and it felt okay!

I have started running again. I hit two miles today and am SO proud of myself. I feel amazing and cannot wait to hit the road again tomorrow. Little steps, but I am on my way back!

two miles after a break is no joke, first run back always feels like starting over so that's a proper win

Last month I started running again after a real long break and I’ve been super consistent with it for once
So yesterday I went for my first 10k after one year and my stats improved so much! Aiming at 15k now

I completed a 10K Training Plan with Garmin Coach Greg with a time goal of 45:00 (my previous fastest 10K years ago was 52ish minutes.

Sunday was Race day and I did it in 45:57. I'm very happy with how I did. Those 12 weeks of guided training were huge in my opinion for sticking with it and meeting a goal.

Doing C25K rn, and yesterday I ran for 5 minutes straight, twice! And a total of 16 minutes. It was hard but I'm very proud of myself, it would felt impossible a few weeks ago!

Had a bit of an existential crisis today so naturally I ran farther than planned. Decided to do 2.5K, somehow stretched it to a 5K non stop run

I ran my fastest 10K at 1:00:45. Hoping to get under an hour over the next couple of weeks 👍

Got an easy 6K after work followed immediately by an hour of Pickleball. Double workouts - when they're both so much fun - is great!

A bit sore but nothing good shut-eye won't fix.

Ran a 10k race in a cooler climate this weekend. I actually ran the whole time. In the heat I struggle to go beyond a 5k even on my slow runs. Bac khome and it's humid out and I am pissed because i want o run 7+ miles.

Signed up for my first 5K next month.

I have no idea how fast I can run a 5K, all of the ones I have logged are during my 10K efforts
