Just a 5K? Pfft. Give me a real challenge. A half-marathon would be great.

Does anyone really care about these anymore? They were fun for like the first week of the Apple Watch.

Does anyone care about the challenges? I do. I don't try to get all of them but do try to get most of them.

If you don't have an hour and a half of free time a day, that's a concern.

It's a concern, but it's a valid concern, and it's a situation a lot of people are in. Don't make light of that.

I try to walk or run outdoors for two hours a day every day. Often I end up doing it fairly late at night, after my kids, and often my wife, are already in bed asleep. ( I live somewhere where it's safe to be out at night).

It's not that easy to find one and half / two hours a day, everyday, for exercise when you've got work and family.

My casual run is 10k or so, four or five times a week. This one will be easy. I find running a very nice way for mental relaxation. 🏃🏻‍♂️😀
