Time for our first Virtual 5K this upcoming weekend, August 23-25! You'll race mostly against yourself, but it'll be great to see where we could be when training more, so please join also if you have finished C25K already!

Level is your subjective perception of where you are.
The type of surroundings could include pavement, trail, flat, hilly; whatever you think is cool to share!
Running/walking could be a verbal description of portion walked versus run or perhaps some calculation even if you're a number nerd.
Add any other info if you want to elaborate.
Let's have some fun!

I am totally in shock and happy! This is my first 5K!!! All conditions were best case scenario. I felt better than I have in weeks, the weather was great, I didn't have to push the stroller, which really helped. The run itself was easy and I had so much energy I ran my faster at the end of the run. It was an awesome day!0 -

I had a brilliant time doing this - it fell in nicely with my programme where I was due to run 3miles so I just tacked on the extra 0.1 to make the 5k.
Only one fly in the ointment was me falling over as I was pressing the lap timer on my watch at the end of the 5k run! I now have the knees of a 6yr old boy with matching scabs forming on my elbow and shoulder ... no one was around to see me do my Bambi on ice impression before gravity finally took over with a final skid on my shoulder for good measure but the dog walker I passed on my cool down walk home gave me a funny look - nothing to do with being coated with mud and pine needles down one side but grinning from ear to ear lol0 -

I did better than expected and it's great to have a square zero in walking; from now on it can only get better when running is added! 5 kilometres feels quite long to me though. Let's do this again!0 -
