    Well done and thank you for making me laugh out loud.... I have my first race on the 18th October, followed by an 8k in November and I'm planning on an 11 in January... Fingers crossed I make it to the end. :)

    Awesome post! My first 5k is in a few weeks and I've been doing C25K to train. I'm nervous and know I won't get a placing medal but that's fine. My goals are 1) start 2) don't die 3) finish and 4) enjoy a nice cold beer at the end of the race!

    Thanks for sharing, running should be fun and you prove it is :flowerforyou:

    I've got my first 5k in about 5 weeks, and I've been doing C25K as well! I'm on week 5. I've never been able to run, EVER. This morning, I ran two eight minute intervals and actually didn't feel like I was going to pass out. Now I'm super excited to keep going and see how much I can do. Good luck to you!!

    Great motivational story, and probably the best post on MFP! I'm hoping to run a 5k in the spring...gotta build up to it. This story definitely inspires me. Thanks for sharing!!

    No pizza-eating medal shots? For shame!

    Congratulations, that's insane for your first 5k. Too bad about getting snubbed for 1st, I doubt those transponders are THAT accurate, I wonder how close it really was. Too bad you didn't know that you were that close and could have made up the difference.

    yep, feels good, doesn't it:smile: I've done three 5Ks since end of July, and hubby and I are doing one on Saturday. I'm thrilled each time I better my previous time, and I enjoy having a goal that isn't based on a number on the scale. Good luck as you continue your journey.

    23:48!! You killed it! I have been trying since May to duplicate my race time in the 5 k ( which was a turtle compared to you 27:53) and only yesterday came within 30 seconds of it. You're a natural, keep going!! I would never be taking those medals off either!
