    My PR so far is 24:02 for a 5K race. Been running for just over 2 years. I think my first one was like 29 min. When I run around outside or on the TM the time is much slower, like 27:00 - 30:00.

    Have you run a race yet? You might be surprised what you do at a race at "race pace" what with the adrenaline and all the other runners there.

    25:19 in the fall classic, which was a seeding race for the Crescent city classic 10k coming up in April. I'm looking finish the 10k in about 45 minutes, so I need to better my time in a 5k by about 3 minutes, and then be able to maintain that pace for a 10k.

    I usually run a couple a year. So far my best time was 29:10. I don't do any running during the winter, but I'll get back to it when the weather gets better outside.

    My first 5K was in Nov, and before that morning the furthest I'd ever run was ONE MILE... over 18 yrs ago, in High School, when I was in some sort of shape.

    I clocked in at 54 minutes.

    I was just happy to cross the finish line upright.

    I now average 45 minutes, and I'm getting faster every day. I've got 3 official 5K's coming up (Jan 20, 28, and Feb 4). I'm hoping to do a little better on each one.

    I want to at least finish a 10K by the end of this year.

    I have not run in about 2 weeks because of the final rigors of completing insanity. anyhow my 5K time is about 30-31 minutes. I ran my first ever 5K on thanksgiving and did it in 31:24. I only started running the week before and had not run on a regular basis since i discharged from the Marine Corps in 1990.

    If I took the whole winter off it would take me the whole summer to get back to where I was before winter. :laugh:

    My fastest is 28:06, but I have to really push it. I average around 29-30. I've only been running for 2.5 years, I do have a marathon under my belt, but I am by no means a professional! ;P

    first 5k last april was 35:36. second one on new year's eve was 45 minutes! i was a little bummed at that, but it was waaaay more crowded than the first one i did, and there were some pretty big hills on the trail. one of my goals this year is to get my time down to 32 minutes or better and to be able to run 5 miles without stopping - maybe a 10k, depending on how it goes.

    love seeing all of you accomplished and aspiring runners! well done to all of you!

    My best chip timed 5k was 39 minutes. I think I could probably do 35 minutes now.

    My best official time is 22:18 (Bedford 5K)

    Unofficially (Just running on my own in the park, using a GPS watch to get the distance) 21:33


    I generally do longer distance races than that so its hard to tell what I would do now... The last 10K I did was 43:53, so sub 20 minutes is a possibility on a good day.
