First 5K on Saturday!!

Frankie3333

I am running my 1st 5K this Saturday. It is the Susan G Komen in Detroit and I couldn't be more excited. I will complete couch to 5k with 2 more runs before then. I remember thinking I could never do it. I gave up running 8 years ago due to shin splints and knee probs. Two years ago I go in an ATV accident and got a herniated disk. I don't know what I am doing differently but I have hardly had any of those problems over the last 2 months. I love running and I adore how many calories it burns. I hope to run non stop on Saturday but if I have to walk a few minutes I am not going to beat myself up.

This is the start of a great summer and my new fav exercise ... running!

I am running my first 5K (and race) ever this Sunday. I am hoping to come in just around 30minutes, I guess we will have to wait and see. Good luck to you!

Awesome attitude! Goal for a first 5K should just be to finish. You're going to rock it!!! Good luck :flowerforyou:

Good luck! Be sure to savor it all!

I just finished my 3rd one since March 25 and I have another one this weekend. It is a good feeling to be beyond, "do I think I can finish," or "finish without walking."

Have a blast!
