5K

I did my first 5k today. Didn't run it all but feel very accomplished just being able to run any! What a change 3 months can make!

Thanks so much! It really helped me mentally. I didn't have a good wt loss this week but crossing this off my list kind of made it worth it.

Congrats!!

WAY TO GO! That is so awesome. What a fabulous accomplishment! I am so proud of you and I don't even know you :-)

I just started the Jeff Galloway 5k trainer so I hope to get there myself.

My new goal is to be able to run the whole thing! I so sore this morning it's not even funny but I love it. Thanks for all the support!

How did you train for it? I just committed to one :)

Alright!

I really haven't been doing that much running at all. I walk on a flat walking trail but this was all terain. I use elyptical for 30-40 mins 6 days a week. The two girls I did 5k with are more advanced than I am running so i just had to push myself to keep up. We walked and jogged. New goal is to jog whole way.

I trained using couch to 5k for my first 5k. You can look up training plans online too. Good luck! Congrats on you accomplishment!!!

I use the Couch to 5K app too. I am signed up for two 5k's and the Warrior Dash. It is good to sign up for them...keeps you motivated! I never thought I would make it running more than 2 minutes & now I am running 15 minute intervals!
