So I just finished my first 5k! My official running time was 32:21. I am so happy and proud of myself. I have worked so had to get to this point. I ran the whole time and it felt great. I think I can start thinking of myself as a runner now :).

    Great job! Congrats!

    Now clean out a dresser drawer to make room for all the race tees you're going to start accumulating. :wink:

    Great job! My wife and I ran our first 2 weeks ago. Before starting to live healthy and lose weight with MFP, I didn't think I'd ever consider myself a runner. Amazing what a change in attitude will do for you, isn't it?

    Congrats!! That's one of my goals! I need to get back in to running! Has anyone done C5K?

    I did it over a year ago and now I can run for 45 minutes easily. It's amazing how many calories you burn running over 30 minutes.

    Welcome to the club! I have a friend who saves all her race bibs and puts them in a scrapbook. I didn't save my first one and wish I had. Your first 5K is something you will always remember. Congratulations on a great time and doing it!
