I started my running program (just myself, nothing official) in June of this year. I started out with a few minutes of jogging mixed in with walking. Well, today, I ran my first 5K! I did it in 30:20, and I placed 11th out of 29. I got second in my age group.

Just had to share!

    That's great. I ran a 2 Mile race today.

    My first 5K is in three weeks. I can't wait. I'm addicted to running now.

    Awesome!


    I do think I'll run a 10K, but it won't be until June. I'm looking at a couple more 5Ks before then though.

    That is awsome. Great job. My son and I did a two mile race about a month ago and we are doing one Thanksgiving morning. 5K for me next spring.

    Congratulations! your time is amazing! I am on Week 7 of the 9-week couch to 5k program, and I'm running 25 minutes right now and barely get 2 miles into that, so you are going really fast, in my opinion!
