No more interval runs left in the training program, and I'm officially registered for my race (Sept 9). I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Will run Week 6 Day 3 after work today. Need to step up my outdoor training over the next 3 weeks - I will admit that I'm nervous about this, I'm lots slower on ground than on treadmill. But holy crap, what a distance I've come!

Yay! I'm so happy for you... you've definitely come a long way. Who cares that it's slower... do what you need and can do to finish your race. Do you have any goals set for your first race yet? Mine was to finish under 40 minutes for my first 5k several months ago.
Keep it up and good luck! :drinker:0 -
You should be very proud! Who cares what your time is for your first race? If you run the race, you've succeeded. Then you can work on beating your time in your next race.0

So proud for you I know just how you feel. I will run my second 5k sept 15th with both my girls running to. Are we awsome or what?? I anyone had told me last year at this time I would be doing this I would have laughed at them. You know I'll be cheering you on all the way. :flowerforyou:0

Hey there, I'm on W6D2 and my first 5K is on September 9 as well. We've got this!
Too many newbies get hung up on the time of their first 5K. This isn't my first rodeo, but it has been a LONG time since I did a road race. I keep reminding myself not to try to keep pace with others or start off too fast. I just need to focus on what's the right pace and time for me and then improving on that with each additional 5K.0
