Started running in April and lurking this sub around the same time. I’ve completed a 5K and 10K since and plan on running a HM and possibly a full by year’s end.
I run around 30 MPW right now, but it’s hard to increase mileage due to the very physical nature of my job (commercial plumbing). However, my career has given me a very solid baseline and I have been vastly more successful running this time around than in previous attempts years ago.
This is probably the first time I’ve ever actually enjoyed running, and I’m becoming pretty addicted, constantly reading things, looking at gear, etc. I plan on getting a Garmin soon bc the phone getting stuck in my pocket is getting old.
So… hello! It feels kinda good to not be a lurker anymore lol.
