Yesterday I ran my first "Official" 5K.

My weight was 229 and my time was 30:17
5 Years ago I was 205 and my time was 24:45

I used to run recreational 5K's to maintain weight, but running an actual race really inspired me.

So it's time to get serious. Setting a 24:30 5K goal for 7/4/2012.

    Great attitude! There is something just inspiring about finishing an official 5K that makes you want to run another! I love doing 5Ks because they are fun and quick, and there are a ton of them year round (at least here in Texas).

    Best of luck in your training, and let us know how it goes at your next race. 24:30 by July should be attainable if you build miles and do some speed work. Good luck!
