Finally, 5K! My Actifit Report Card: July 22 2026

Hey Actifiters, I finally did it! I ran my first 5k today!

Here's me after finishing my run this morning:

Yes, that means I was actually able to get up early enough for a run. I was really thankful for to get up and get going. I definitely was tempted at first to hit that snooze button, but by God's grace was able to remember my goal of continuing to progress in my running.

I was originally planning just to do a 30-minute run, but today was able to keep a pretty good pace for me anyways. And was dropping slightly below 11 minute mile for most of the time, so as I got closer to the end of my planned run, I realized I might be able to push myself a little bit more and actually do a full 5K (3.1 miles). And so I did!

This week has been busy, we're in annual review season. Plus there's been some other projects and things going on. Anyways, it was tying me to my desk for most of the day, between sitting so much and running more this morning than I have before my legs, particularly my knees were bothering me a bit so I figured I should get out and stretch my legs a bit with a short walk break.

By the time I got out in the early afternoon though it was already quite hot. It was definitely worth it though to get my legs moving and it seemed to loosen things up. However with it so hot I definitely didn't walk as long as I would have liked to. But I guess that's okay cuz I still had a lot to do for the day.
