Running....

One of the things that's happened as I have gotten more active and focused on fitness is an almost obsession about apple and their rings.   Yes, sometimes it's a pain, but I do think it's useful to keep you motivated and moving.   I just wish there was a "vacation" setting so you could easily have it set your goals lower when you're travelling or on vacation.   It's almost impossible to close my rings when I'm driving.  Yes I know, first world problems...

Apple announced a challenge for world running day, and it required a 5k run.    If you've been reading this you'll probably remember running isn't my strength and until yesterday had only completed one 5k in at least 15 years  That was the Tri, and I struggled with it.   Since I have a 4 mile race coming up in a month, and a few virtual 5k's to complete I went out to run last night

Not my best time and pretty close to the Tri pace, but I did run more and this was a bit further.  I got to listen to music too.  I also knocked off 3 virtual 5k's.   I'll get the remaining 2 before the race as I train up, but my knees feel "ok" so I should be good to run some more.   Hopefully this will help me in the Tarpon Tri too.
