I think I must shun anyone who complains about 29 minutes. :-)

My best time was still above 30. The one I ran Saturday was just sad -- 37 minutes. But I blame the humidity and steep hills at the very end (almost the entire last mile was up a steep hill) for that.

I do enjoy them, though, and it's always something to work towards. And I try to choose races that benefit organization that mean something to me.

Great time! Stick at it

I broke my 5k PB a couple of months ago with 20' 50". Unfortunately I knackered my hamstring in the process and I haven't done a run in about six weeks, and don't know when I'll be able to get back out again Really want to get back out and push towards breaking 20'.

Great job on your 5k! Good time. I enjoy running too! Working up to a 1/2 marathon now. I have run 5ks and 10ks. Running is my favorite form of exercise and I typically run 30-40 miles a week. Any runners, feel free to add me as a friend!!!!

Great time! I just started running last year and it's addicting! I love the races. It's something my whole family loves to do (my 9 and 6 year olds run them with me, my husband, mother, brothers, sister in laws, cousins, etc.). It's so much fun. This November my whole family is renting a house in OBX for a whole weekend of racing. Some family members are doing the marathon, some the half, I'm doing the 8K with my sister in laws and some are doing the 5K. I never understood why people put themselves through running, especially marathons but I completely get it now!
