Ran my first 5K...

[LewWagner]

Ran my first 5K at the tender age of 59 on Sept 27 in the morning at Ocean City NJ 5K event.  Along the oceanside boardwalk.  I did training for it and my target speed was 4-4.5 mph.  I completed the run and wasn't dead last but wasn't first, either.  Average was 4.5 mph.  Since that time, I'm running almost all the time although I still very much enjoy walking with my wife, Beth. 

I want to get back to the high 20-30K+ step counts I had back in 2014 so will rededicate myself to doing that.

Still haven't figured out how to show the steps taken with the Garmin.  I don't have the foot sensors, but find it hard to believe the watch doesn't have that capability to show steps taken.

Congrats on your first 5K. Sounds like you did awesome!

That's great!

My first was a couple of months ago, and my goal was not to be last.

At one point, a 4-year-old was running faster than me, which is highly motivating!
