I have been totaly into these things since I got my first Garmin 310xt. I dig them. I have had many Garmins, a couple Fitbits, which both broke, and a Samsung. I now have a Garmin Fenix 5 Sapphire. Paired with my HRM strap I can get some cool data. I never had a Polar or Suunto. Anyone have anything to add? I am a Garmin guy all the way if you haven't guessed that.

In the back of my mind I knew I couldn't keep up, but I tried. I just couldn't get those 5 minute runs done without walking. Looks like I will be stuck on week 4 for a bit. I'm not giving up though. Thanks for reading. Happy running folks!

Outlook for next week is already trending warmer!

I was just in AZ recently for vacation. Love it there!

Thank you!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed reading that.

That's great! I'm glad you beat your previous time.

Well we made it to St. Patty's day. Hope your weather is better.

What a fun time this was! So my plan was to improve on my time from my first 5K on Thanksgiving 2018. That one I finished according to my bib time 1:00:08.74 (19:24/M). Today I finished 52:59.8 (17:05/M) I would say that was a pretty good job. I'll count it as a success. I also started my fitbit tracker about 18 seconds before I actually crossed the starting line. My tracker had me completing the race at 54:49 (I had to wait to stop it until I was past the crowd) with a pace of 16:43/M so I dunno lol I really didn't run much. I did "sprint" at times and honestly once I got going I felt pretty good. According to fitbit my last mile was on track for a pace of 16:01/M. The weather was down right cold! It was in the 20s at the start but the sun was shinging and it made for a beautiful day. At the half way point I ditched my gloves and headband. I was plenty warm Thank you everyone for the words of encouragement! This race was just what I needed to motivate me to keep working on this. I'll be scanning the websites for more races to sign up for this year. Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!
