    I did a 5k yesterday also!! San Diego Hot Chocolate! It was so much fun...I have done them before, but this is the first one that I ran non stop!! Good Job and congrats!

  • I ran my first one this weekend (Redbud Classic in Oklahoma City). It was such a great feeling of accomplishment. I did the 9 week C25K program. Ran the whole thing and did it in a respectable 34 m

Congrats..i just signed up for my very first 5k in May...and am so excited!!!!

The feeling of accomplishment at the end of a race is the best rush ever! Hopefully that will motivate you to keep it up. Congratulations on the completion of your first of what I am sure will be MANY races!

Good for you. I started training the 2nd of Feb and finished my first 15K on saturday. Goal is half maratnon in mid April. If you havent already, research Jeff Galloway. He developed the walk run training method. My current pace is run 3 walk 1. Lots of good info on Jeff's web site. Once I figured out I could run its become addictive. I also highly recommend fitbit. Get those 10,000 steps in each day. It's suprising how much that helps.

Amazing! Congrats! How did you feel afterward?

It was awesome! My mini goal was to run it under 40 minutes...my lofty goal was under 35....I ran 34:56!! Not too shabby :)

I am now looking for a 5K in June!

That feeling of accomplishment at the end of a race is pretty addictive. Especially when you better your time from race to race.
