No one is more surprised than me! I did my first 5k yesterday and I lived to tell! Lol

I was intimidated when I first arrived but I was in a group and it was wonderful!

Dare I say I want to do it again and not just run/ walk like I did this time but maybe actually running the entire course ????

Congrats on the accomplishment.

Congrats.. A goal of mine as well!!!

stupid dup that we love to hate

Thank you all! I was surprised becAuse the old me would have been like no way! I can not do that!

I need to map out the distance in my neighborhood so I can do 5k more often

I work best with landmarks....from my front door to this intersection is 1 mile etc....

NICE!!! Hooray for you! Isn't it the greatest feeling to cross that finish line!?!?

Careful ... it is addicting. Did my first 5K last August and have done at least one race per month since then. Started out walking, moved to "wogging" (mostly walking with a little job here and there), to doing walk/run intervals my last race. Haven't managed a full race all running yet, but working on it. This last one I pulled out a sub 13-minute mile pace for the whole race though, so nothing wrong with walk/run intervals. I am now registered for my first 5-miler, 10-miler, and will soon begin training for a marathon walk in the fall.

Best of luck to you ... I look forward to hearing about more races from you!!!

I figure I live in a major city and no one loves races more than Chicago....I swear there's one every weekend!

I need to find more to do and my goal is to run at least 75% of the 5k next time [emoji4]

Congratulations!

Awesome job! I did my 1st one 2 weeks ago. I am not a runner but I did run 1/2 of it. Of course in spurts but I did it and I'm proud of it. So be proud!!
