Haha. This is where I started my slow jogging in St. Paul. This is on route of 5k. Its all concrete and not too pretty. But then there's a left turn on Summit Ave and it looks nicer. This was total work for me even though I was going slow. So my goal is to finish in one hour and not get hurt. I am supposed to feel my body moving and that's supposed to be fun. But so far the only fun is after I am done. Running does seem to improve my mood.

Hi everyone, I am happy to report that I was able to slow jog the 5k course that I am attempting in October. I bought a garmin forerunner 35 from target and it has built in gps so I don't have to carry my phone. I can also read my distance time and pace on the watch face. I loaded screen shot from garmin connect. I jog pretty slow but I was able to keep moving with my jogging for the whole 3.1 miles. It took a little over an hour.
