First ever proper run, & 5k.

I'm 15, and usually play sports in the evening everyday, sometimes badminton, sometimes football, or smthg else.

Today I finally got up early for a run, and got my friend with me. I have never ran proper runs like these, using strava and all. Only time I have ran that tired me more than this, was in 8th grade, when I was training for the football team.

So this is my first proper tracked run, and 1st 5k.

Aim was sub 30, and when I started running was good for 2km, after that my speed decreased a bit, and when I was at 4.4km covered, it was tiring, felt pretty tired, then sprinted the last stretch as fast as I could, and finally ended it on 5.15km.

Didn't expect to see sub 30, but here it was, felt nice, a bit pain in the legs, but it's ok now. Was pretty fun.

And is this time pretty good? Heard from people sun 30 5km is pretty good. But ig I am young.

I am 15, and this is my watch collection, the diesel is my dad's, he gave it to me, and the hmt cheta is my nanu's, </=50yrs old. I have to get it serviced also, so it is dirty, and the diesel has battery issues, as stated by my father.

The fossil was my first watch, regret it somewhat now, but still happy, and the Fastrack was my 2nd, before these I only had those kiddish watches.

Got into watches a few years ago, wanted a skeleton from the start, mom took me to lifestyle if I am right, and got me the fossil from there, saw a beautiful fossil skeleton but was 20k, lol.

Now I had my 10th boards and my dad said if I scored good marks, he would get me any watch I want, and at that time i thought I can get my dream watch now lol, (the ciga design z series, aircraft carrier version), liked it a lot, but now it all seems too expensive to spend on myself, especially at this age. I think I should buy these expensive watches when I start earning myself, and if I wanna get a watch m thinking of the casio MTP-1302da, white dial ( I want a watch that will last me a long time.), or hmt stellar open heart turquoise dial, which is hard to find.

What are your thoughts, on getting a watch, mainly I want something reliable.

And, any thoughts on my collection?

Thanks for reading!

Btw, are Casio watches this easy to scratch, cause mine has a big scratch visible in the photo, and many smaller ones which aren't exactly pleasing, but smaller ones can only be seen from an angle, some for some other watches....

Is there a way to prevent all these scratches?

Got this watch of my nanu, gonna get it serviced today after god knows how many years, still runs well, thinking of getting a case-back exhibition if possible. Thoughts?
