Signed up for my first 5K

I just registered for the Susan G Komen 5 K that is on April 30 near my town! I'm so excited! A year ago I could not even run for 2 min, but I gradually added minutes to my walking. I've been able to run a 5 K nonstop now for a few months, but I'm just trying to decrease my time. Making a committment like this involving exercise is huge for me.

I was NEVER a runner before. I probably couldn't of even been frightened into a run, lol. Now it's my preferred form of exercise!

Awesome! I use races to keep me motivated to run. I absolutely love crossing the finish line. It's a great feeling.

My first one is april 2nd. I'm walking it though with some jogging tossed in. I'm not ready to run yet! Congrats and good luck!

Good for you! :happy:

I ran my first 5K last summer. Crossing that finish line was such a great accomplishment. I'm already signed up for two races this spring and I recruited several friends and even my dad! Running is an addiction!

Good for you! I have a few runs lined up over the next few months. A 5K in 2 weeks, another one next month, and 10K's in May and July.

Thanks everyone! I'm really looking forward to it. I'm already thinking of signing up for another one in June....it is addicting Beth!

And good luck to you Chango69!

You will love it! I think the 5k is a perfect first race. It's not to far but far enough where you feel such pride crossing that finish line! You will run many more for sure! I do several a year because they're so addicting and easy to come by! Eventually, you'll do longer races... It's inevitable! haha Good luck and have fun!
