My First 5K!

[Essence46 493]

If someone would have told me a year ago that I would be running, I would have laughed at them. LOL!! I twisted my knee running last Tuesday so I took the rest of the week off. I honestly didn't know if I was going to be able to run at all on Saturday but I did it!! Not only did I do it, I ran my fastest 5K time ever. Yay me!! Even though the scale and I are not friends right now, I feel good and I am so proud of myself. I have been challenged to run a half marathon in Sept. (I must be crazy). I have a lot of work to do. Game on!!

WOW congratulations girl, what an accomplishment. I hope I look that good after running my 5K. Not sure when, but I'm going to run some day.

Wonderful! Congratulations! Running my first 5K I think was even more fulfilling and exciting than running my first 1/2 marathon. I guess mainly because it was the first realization I had that I could do something athletic and push my body further than I ever thought I could. Good luck on your 1/2 marathon.Just stick with a good training plan and you'll do great!

That's awesome. Way to go! I had surgery last month and plan to run one in December. I want to give myself time to lose some weight and get in shape in general. I've never even run a mile in my life but often wished I was more of a runner.

You look great! What an awesome accomplishment for you. Be proud!! I feel the same way about no way in hell can I do it now, but that is my goal. I can walk a 5K, but I want to RUN one!!

Congrats!! Way to keep on keeping on in spite of you injury. That's the sign of being committed.

I am running my first 5k on April 9th. I have walked several, but this one will be the final workout of my C25K plan! I am thinking I should be able to run at least 80% of that distance. I am really slow so 30 minutes of running isn't going to quite get me to the finish line.

Congrats again and keep it up!
