Finally got the nerve to run a 5K, I'm not really into running that much but I figure what the heck. Did it in 25:52. I'll run another in March and will try for 24 minutes flat or better.

    Fantastic time for a first 5k!!! I started getting faster little by little and the next thing I knew I was winning age group awards. THAT can be addicting. It helps to be 40+....we tend to be a slow crowd. But not always!! :-)

    That's awesome! You'll get addicted. I've run 2 so far and my typical time is between 30-37min.
  • Great job! My fiance and I did our first one in the beginning of October in 30:47. I can't wait to do another and keep improving the time!
