Ok, I’m 2 weeks out from my 1st 5k of the year. After 6 months I’m finally running pain free without any additional support in my shoes for my plantar fasciitis!!!

That said, I work too hard on the yard and house painting and it takes its tool when I do my hard workout for the week the day after. Unfortunately, I have all day work meetings and rain the next few days so today needed to be the day. I went off effort as opposed to time.

I did a 5k tempo in under 6:20 pace, want to race around 5:30 - 5:40’s so time to taper and focus!

Thanks! No races for me yet, but I’ve been trying to start running in the mornings. I’m doing 3km in about 12 to 15 minutes — still very new to it. I’ve lived a pretty sedentary life honestly. Even though I’m skinny (around 75kg), I’ve always worked in tech — first in an office, now fully remote.

But hey, I’m trying, and that’s what matters. Time to change some habits… and some paradigms too.

remote. Great job! Baby steps. I work in IT as well and now am fully remote. I get out over lunch for a run, sunlight, and fresh air.

Yeah, man, that’s the key — just getting outside and moving a bit. I totally get it. Remote life is awesome but dangerous for the body if we’re not mindful. I’m trying to make it a habit now — sunlight, movement, fresh air... feels like hacking life itself. 😅
