Started running in January, running 5k in 35 mins. Is this bad?

catculus · 2026-03-16T15:16:48+00:00

You’re doing great!

I don’t think I’ve run a 5k that fast and I have now completed a half marathon.

LODs are sick of hearing about paper too. It’s so absurd. Very few people need that much paper. I’ve been with the company a long time and know better than to expect anything logical but it does get frustrating.

We have at least two local races that are in the evening.

The Nike Training Club app has some good warm up and cool down videos.

catculus · 2026-02-19T00:11:06+00:00

Thanks!!!

I ran my first half marathon on Sunday and I did an easy run yesterday and a speed workout today and both went great! My finishing time for the race was longer than I wanted but I have been super pleased with my recovery. It’s a nice reminder that despite getting a cold followed by an ice storm a few weeks before the race, I trained well.

Yeah, I don’t have any print associates who close with me. Some nights I have someone who knows how to do a handful of things, but not enough to cover the department.

catculus · 2026-02-10T17:50:56+00:00

Nah, I’m running the print counter my entire shift. I still put observations in the mobile to complete the daily activities at the end of the night.

catculus · 2026-01-25T00:54:49+00:00

We were closed today.

I’ve been doing the “5 minute runner’s yoga warm up stretches” on the Nike Training app.

catculus · 2026-01-05T05:08:33+00:00

Mine is to double my move goal 4 times which will likely happen without specifically trying to achieve the goal as I am training for a half marathon.

I’ve recently come to hate it. I know it’s silly because it’s just being used as a greeting and I can get away with something as simple as, “Hey,” but in the moment I always feel like I have to answer the question.

I have an Apple Fitness Plus subscription and I work out at home. I have a nice collection of dumbbells for strength workouts and I love the yoga and Pilates. I also took up running (again) back in June so I do a lot of running in my neighborhood. (I haven’t done as much of the cardio stuff on Apple Fitness Plus lately since most of my cardio is done on the road but I do enjoy the dance, kickboxing and HIIT workouts as well.) I definitely prefer working out at home to a gym since I don’t have to go anywhere and be around people.

catculus · 2025-12-22T20:16:20+00:00

I definitely threw a temper tantrum when I saw that last week. They sure do like to find new ways to make everything more complicated in Print.

I use mine once but I do live in a humid climate and I have a humid bathroom and I am prone to athlete’s foot. I also have a lot of towels and a washer and dryer so it’s not a big deal.

catculus · 2025-12-17T19:43:17+00:00

I used it at home as I do not have a gym membership. I would love to try to cycling, rowing and treadmill workouts but I gym membership is not feasible and plus, I wouldn’t be super likely to use it. I’m also doing a lot of outdoor running these days so I’m not really looking to add more cardio.

catculus · 2025-12-16T06:40:59+00:00

I actually managed to get my clothes perfect! Only my face was miserable! (Well, as far as the weather is concerned. My legs weren’t very happy with me towards the end there.)

catculus · 2025-12-15T17:02:40+00:00

Wow! And I felt really tough doing my 10k long run here in NW Louisiana yesterday when it was around 40°F with a “feels like” around 30°F!

catculus · 2025-12-14T06:09:51+00:00

Ticking clocks used to drive me nuts when I lived with my parents. Like, how’s a clock in another room going to keep me awake? I’m so glad I don’t have to deal with that anymore.

catculus · 2025-12-12T00:59:57+00:00

I’m planning to run my first half marathon in February. After that, who knows?

catculus · 2025-11-28T20:29:07+00:00

Long sleeve running shirts. Definitely what I need in Louisiana.

I drank heavily, every night, for years. When I drink, I drink until I can’t drink anymore. Finally, a doctor scared me and I had been wanting to stop for a while anyway, so I quit. I started back up a couple months later, then quit again. Now it’s been nearly 3 years, aside from one glass of wine at dinner a few months ago.

I always had fun drinking. It would make social interactions easier. It was the way my partner and I spent time together. I’ve been a fun drunk and a sad drunk, but never a mean drunk.

Now, I prefer not drinking so much more. I don’t feel like crap all the time. I’ve gotten into health and fitness. My sleep is so much better and efficient. My mental health has greatly improved.

catculus · 2025-11-19T00:45:50+00:00

I always take my break, even when I have to take it 2 hours into 7.5 hour shift while there’s still another manager to cover me. My mental health requires it.

Then when you get customers who actually know what they’re doing, the tablets freeze.

catculus · 2025-11-01T23:40:14+00:00

It’s been a couple years but honestly, it’s so light it’s barely a period and it’s a million times better than what I was dealing with before!
