SteveMayer831 Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Hello, all. I'm Steve, and I've been on a quest to get more healthy since I turned 59. Between the gym, and the myfitnesspal, and mapmywalk apps, I've become more healthy, and lost 30 lbs. This year, at 62, I set a goal to run a 5k. I used the c25k app to get to that goal! I had a setback, when I came down with runners knee, but it healed up, I continued, and I did my first 5k EVER in October. I'll be doing more 5ks in the future...

Carole Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Well done Steve. I don't know where you come from but if you are in the UK have you looked at doing 5k parkrun on a Saturday morning? They are all free of charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMayer831 Posted December 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Carol, Can't. I'm in the US, but thanks for the offer. I'm hoping to do the Resolution Run in San Diego in a week or so. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedingsloth Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Hi Steve, depending on which part of US you're in, there may be a weekly parkrun event near you http://www.parkrun.us/events/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breezee Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 We have park runs in Australia - I just want to get my speed up before I go to one so I don't embarrass myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively, I thought of doing it using a different name so that no one will laugh at me when I come in last! ◡̈ Or how about, all of us from here sign up using our usernames from this forum, this way, we'll be the only ones who will know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
