Took it a bit easier today, still walked my dog and got a couple extra miles in while shopping with the family.

Ran my first 5K yesterday. Didn't come anywhere close to placing, but that was my New Year's resolution that I finally crossed off the list!

Well done! I love 5ks. They're just challenging enough to be a real accomplishment for a lot of people. Do you have plans to race again?

[brandonjohnson]

@HellYeah @Fremen @MadamMeow @aku-chan @WolfDreamer thanks so much! I'd love to do another one, once I get a new job I'll have some extra income to be able to sign up. In the meantime, I'll try to at least walk a 5K once a week so I can stay used to the distance, if not the faster pace every time.

I got an hourly job at one of my local grocery stores, while I continue searching for my next "career" position. Some decent income in the meantime, plus it's the same place I had my very first job at which is nice. I'll need to figure out what that looks like for working out, hoping I can continue with my current exercise plan but we'll see what my schedule looks like. Further up and further in!

Buff Dudes 12-Week Plan II - Phase 4 Day 1

Skipped a week of the last phase, it wasn't really doing what I wanted it to and I feel like some of the exercises were causing some unnecessary tension & impingement. Today felt much better, good pump & workout - the perfect antidote for a grey rainy day outside.
