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.

Keep 'er going Rio.

Another run at dusk to beat the heat. 10.3K

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

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!
