So I ran my first 5K today (more like jogged)! Although it took me 45 minutes, this is the longest that I've ever run. And to think that I have been off exercise for the past two weeks after my mother passed away and bouts of flu after that. I went to the gym today reminding myself to lower my expectations. I told myself I will start slowly since this is my first day back. Went on the treadmill, and the minutes passed by. I glanced at the display and the number said 5.1 KM! Yay ME!

    Congrats! Regardless of the time, running a 5K is huge because so many people never make it even that far! Great job!

    I just tried my first attempt at a 5k earlier this week. I barely made it a mile,and walked the rest of the way. I can't wait to make it my first time all running. Great job! Sorry to hear about your loss, I lost my Mom recently and know what devastating thing that can be. Good luck to you, Thanks for inspiring us.
