I can finally call myself a "runner." YAY!

So happy you shared! Congratulations...I am in the same boat as you as I am a new runner and can run about the same time as you. I also signed up for my first 5k in May and am super motivated and excited about that. Are you planning on any races?

I ran my very first 5K in October 2010 and I've been doing one or two a month since then. Once you do one you realize how easy it can be. I'm training for a 10K in April now!

i called myself a runner the first day i went out there and ran for the sake of running. i didnt get very far, nor was i quick, but i was still a runner.

conratulations!!! I know how you feel. I started running in January and couldnt run for more than 1 min at a time and I ran for 50 mins at running club this morning and it was an easy steady pace enjoyable run. I felt great after it and had the same thought as you - Now I can call myself a runner! Love the feeling and I love running - I cant wait for the next days run. Im training to run a marathon but have the usual 5km, 10km half maras as my milestones on the way!
