I ran my first 5K on Saturday. I was a great thing to cross the finish line and I ran the whole time never walked. My time was 34.13 and I came in 269 over 800 people where there.

    Congrats on your 5k and finishing in front of nearly 75% of the people! I've got mine in 13 days...my goal not to get hit by a car and to finish in better than 50 min (walked same race 2 yrs ago in about 52, adding some running to it this year.)

    Congratulations that is amazing!
    I am currently doing the Zombies 5K Training and on week 2 - Starting from Couch Marathons and never being able to run. I am really looking forward to being able to do my first Race. My goal will be to not walk the first time.

    Woo Hoo to you!!

    I really enjoy reading everyone comments on either own 5K runs. Just get out there and do it. I never thought I could run but I did it and it feels awesome.
