I did it!!

I had this crazy goal to run a 5K in 30 minutes or less. Started walking about a year and a half ago. Started running this past spring. Saturday was my 4th 5K. I finished the previous ones in 31:45, 31:30 and 33:14. I did this one in 28:36 and finished 2nd in my age group!! The training has paid off and now I am training for a 15K.

That's fantastic. How did you transition from walking to running? I seem to just try to make it from one tree to the next at the park. You're an inspiration!!!

You just do it one foot in front of the other. Start at a half mile. Then move to a mile. Then two. Then three. 5k is 3.1 miles.

Once you are comfortable there you go to four. Then five. Then six. Then you are at 10k.

Fantastic! Well done.

Do you have a local running club? I joined mine when I was just about to do my first 10K - I've come on really far and really fast with the extra coaching (especially all the training where I'm not just doing steady runs - e.g. interval training, hill training, mile reps, etc) plus I'm now got great friends to inspire me and a team to represent when I run

I run by myself. It would be cool to run with a group of people, but my schedule is so hectic already!! I do have a lot of friends that run and we are all very supportive of each other.
