Super short 3 or 4 k as per my new Garmin overlords instructions. I messed it up trying to make the music work so it didn't track properly, but I done it.
Years ago I remember a ch'er saying how humbling it was to go from running marathons to barely gutting out 3 miles. I can concur, it is humbling. Not that I was running marathons but it wasn't so long ago that halfs were a fun Sunday morning.

Isn't it funny how we are concerned about our fitness trackers working or not working? Today I did 6.74 miles and Fitbit recorded it but Strava has me at 4.94 miles even though it grabs all its data from Fitbit.
I was thinking about that too but in a way where I'm in much better shape than when I was younger. Had I tried to run 6.74 miles when I was 25 no way would I have made it let alone had a good time. It's so hard to get back into it and I'm glad I'm there! Glad to have you here Rio.

Yes - part of me longs for the days of driving the route to get the distance, taking note of the time when I left the house, and again when I got back. That was my fitness tracker :D
I still catch myself resetting the distance in my car to get the mileage of a route that looks intriguing.

Reminds me of the first week after I bought my first bicycle (as an adult) back in the day. They asked if I wanted the bike computer but I declined. I spent more time tracing maps (and driving routes) that first week than riding, so I could log my miles. Humbly, I returned to the store a week later and I’ve been data driven ever since!
