Great Job! Keep pushing yourself and before you know it you will be attempting a half marathon like me. Keep up the good work. Runners high it the best drug in the world!

My 10k went really well. I think the half Marathon is next year. Congrats on going from 45-30 bmi in 8 months. That is amazing.

Congrats! That is exciting. I just ran my first 5k a few weeks ago.

I had to have surgery on my foot, but hope to get back at it in a few weeks!

Keep running!

That may be the hardest thing in sports to explain to someone who hasn't experienced it. I do remember it from my high school cross country days. I've come close to the feeling again during this 10k.

Another 5k tomorrow, the last one of my 40s, Maybe I can win something in the over 50 group I'm hoping this feels easy after the 10k last weekend.

Bill, how was the 5k? I bet it did seem easy after a 10k. Keep running!

IT went great. Bettered my best time by more than 2 minutes My wife ran the entire 5k for the first time with no walking. Looking forward to the next one.

Congrats on the 5K!!! I remember the feeling that I had when i ran the entire time of mine as well. You will not forget it! My next goal is to run a full half marathon without walking. I did a half marathon in March with a pretty good time of 2 hours and 40 minutes but I did it on a 5/1 schedule. I am signed up for another one in November and hope to run the whole thing!!!
