January 1st if you had told me I'd be running any type of races I would have laughed in your face! But Yesterday I ran (well ran & walked!) my very first 5k! I started Couch to 5k 3 weeks ago and it took me a long while to finish, but I'm so happy that I just completed it!

    That's so awesome! I ran my first 5k last year and it was something I never thought I could do! You should feel really proud of yourself and ride this wave of enthusiasm!

    Great work! That's so inspiring...I'm running my first one next weekend! Well, running & walking. Hopefully just not sobbing or unconscious.

    That is wonderful!!! Good for you. I just made that goal myself two days ago. So I will be posting in a couple of months or earlier! Would you mind telling me how long it took you? I am trying so hard to not pressure myself but I want to set a goal!!!

    That's so great, I have always wanted to be able to run.

    One day I'd love to enter and finish the NYC marathon (50kms) but I can't even do the 5k like you.

    I bow before you xxx you're awesome.
