Ran 5k for the first time in 5 years today!

posted almost 2 years ago | Report

Hi Everyone,

My name is Mark. I am from Caledonia Ontario, Canada. I wanted to introduce myself and see if I can make some friends / social connections here, to help me keep motivated and share my success and challenges with you.

Today was a great day. As I mentioned in the title, I was able to run 5k for the first time in 5 years. Motivation has been my downfall, but I feel like I am back in the game now.

Also, I am a techie kind of guy, so I am loving this site and what is has to offer. I want to run now, just so I can see my stats grow! Great job Dailymile.com

I am looking forward to chatting with some of you soon.

All the best.....Mark

    Welcome Mark and Congrats on the 5K!!

    I've also been making a return to running... After a nearly 25 year break I started up again a couple years ago... got myself through a couple injuries in the process but I'm up and enjoying it now. And, I to find the stats really helpful to maintain my motivation.

    Keep up the good work!

    Welcome to the site Mark, and congratulations on the 5K. Motivation has also been an issue for me, especially during the winter. I have been using this site for about a month now and I love it. It keeps me motivated knowing that others are seeing what I'm doing.

    Congrats! I ran my first 5k in my life about 2 months ago. Two weeks ago I finished my first 10k in my life! Isn't it amazing what your body can do when you set your mind to it? Keep it up and feel free to add me as a friend!
