I'm so excited to read this-- so proud of you, so impressed. Not only did you do it, you helped somebody else to finish, so he can say he ran across-- that's so wonderful!!!!!

I'm running my first 5k next month and this is so exciting to read-- way to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Post some pictures when you can-- I'd love to see the shirt. That's what I want most of all-- my t-shirt, and the finish line pictures!

well I'm glad that I am not gonna eat all those.

but wouldn't a HRM be your specific own rate of loss? Because I am still in the obese range, wouldn't I burn more?

Say it's so!!!!:sad: :sad: :sad:

Yeah, it also depends on how much you weigh. But... I find that MFPcal burn for running is really high. For most of the other workouts it's pretty accurate though!

I personally found the opposite. I bought a heart rate monitor and I burn MORE than MPF would calucate. MPF tells me that for jogging 20 minutes at 5 MPH (I'm only up to 4.8 on the treadmill) that I burn 194 calories. My HRM tells me more like 300.

Congrats on doing the 10K! I knew you could!

Awesome job!

Thanks for sharing your experience and helping to inspire me to go on with my plans.

I have a 10K walk for MS coming up in a few weeks. I've also been feeling the urge to wimp out but after hearing how much you enjoyed your 10K I think I'll stick with it!
