    05/03/14 - Stonyfield 5K (NH) - 27:04.

    This was my first official 5K, so I'm thrilled with the result. It's given me the racing bug now, must find more to register for!

    I set a pr today at the Prairie Fire Half Marathon in Wichita, Ks on 5-4-14. It was also my first half. My time was 1:57:40, 2:20 faster than my goal of 2:00 and a little faster than predicted by McMillan :). Now on to training for the full in October.

    Cox Marathon, Providence, RI - 4:13:29 Just an awesome experience for my first! I had a slight injury for the last four weeks of training, so I couldn't peak properly. Considering that, I am happy with the result.

    I ran my first 10 K race yesterday 1:06 was my time! I was super happy since this was my first 10 K and my last "long run" in training was the 10 K distance I did it in 1:12. I didn't run with my garmin so I was totally shocked to see my time was 1:06! I went by feel and felt strong the whole race and really pushed it the last km. I literally sprinted the last few 100 metres to the finish line. It was the most incredible feeling! My husband ran it in 48 minutes. He was hoping to break 45 minutes but had a tough race. He is super fast! My husband and I are now planning to sign up a half marathon in October....so excited! I have officially fallen in love with running.

    5K PR on Saturday night! It was a last minute decision to run. I haven't run much since my half 3 weeks ago and haven't done a 5k race since November. I wanted to improve my 5k time over the summer and hopefully get a PR. My previous best was 33:49 from a race in 2009. I finished in 30:15!!! I have heard many on here say that to get faster you need to run lots of slow miles - I am a believer! I have always dreamed about a sub-30 5k, now I know I can do it!

    Ran my first half marathon yesterday 1:59.01. My goal was to be under 2 hours and I just barely made it in. Benchmark is established, excited to see what I can do when I actually follow a training plan. I totally get why you are all addicted to these now. I think I'm still on a runners high!

    New PR at the Hollywood Half Marathon! 1:30:20.7! I hit the wall around mile 9 but managed to PR =)

    1:30 after hitting the wall..... that's amazing.

    whoops I meant 2:30:20.7 =/

    Just finished the OC Half Marathon yesterday with 2:33:45. The port-a-potty line killed me! Wasted about 8 minutes waiting =(

    Ran both the Columbus Ohio Capital City Half Marathon and the Cincinnati Ohio Flying Pig marathon this weekend. Did not try to run fast, just wanted to run both races this weekend.

    Wow!! That is fantastic!! My last 10k race was around 45 minutes. It was a couple years ago though. My next race is a half Marathon just for fun. Called Charity Chase. I've run it several times. I'm looking for a good flat course to qualify again for Boston.
    :happy:

    Ok, started running ( for real ) in March 2013 having lost 15kg thanks to MFP. Started with a Parkrun and came in just below 25 mins, which surprised me a little to be honest in a good way!

    Since then lots of training and the odd race:

    5k 21'28 in Jan this year - I've done about 8 parkruns in total and always improved my time so far. Probably due another crack at this.....

    10k 45'53 last October in Hatfield

    HM 1'41 in Copenhagen IAAF March this year - I was delighted with that, in such a fantastic event my first experience of a massive race.

    My first marathon is now 16 days away......gulp. Aiming for 3'45 as a ballpark, but sub 4 my main target. Capable of faster in theory but the legs to tend to start tiring on my long runs at around 11-12 miles.....I think the use of gels and drinks may be the key but that comes with experience I guess......

    Last week 5K - 21:44. A PR for me for a race, but way off the 20:45 I was able to do last month for no particular reason. I freeze up like a freshman at a keg party when it comes to races. It kills me.
