5K Mud Run Best Time

NoExcusesAllProgress

Hey everyone! I'm feeling amazingly proud of myself this week. I ran my 2nd 5K for the year on Sunday. Its an obstacle filled Mud Run in NY and I accomplished two feats. One, I was able to run the whole way through, no walking. Two, I beat my best time by a little over 3 minutes. Here is a link where I recorded the whole run. Its roughly edited to make it all fit on YouTube.

Congrats! I just started running 5k's in August. I love running 5k's because they all benefit some sort of organization and the atmosphere is so much fun! I have ran 6 of them so far. Each time I set a goal time right before the race, and every time I have hit it.

I just registered to do a 5k mud run on 10/27. I'm really excited but also kind of nervous because the 2 guys on my team are extraordinarily fit. I'm afraid my 11 minute miles will slow them down!

Keep up the good work!

Orchard Beach. It was an amazing day to run. Weather was perfect, the park was gorgeous.

You can do it! I haven't run a normal 5K yet. I'm addicted to Mud Runs right now. Love the obstacles.

not sure where orchard beach is, so it can't be too close to here. does anyone walk? i am intrigued by the obstacle part of it, but due to way too many knee surgeries, i can't run.

Its in/by the Bronx. Plenty of people walk. I don't treat it like a race, I just do it to support the troops.

It was a GoPro Camera with a head strap. They're amazing little cameras.

Haha yeah, hes a character. If it wasn't for him, i wouldn't have gotten such a good time either. Great motivator. Can you tell we're from NJ? We curse a bit much.

You have to! Its so fun and the rest of the people who do it are always a blast to meet and get to know. Its a very supportive atmosphere and who doesn't want to get down and dirty?

Awesome Job! I did my first 5K mud run a couple of weeks ago, also in NY but in Riverhead! I jogged/walked most of it had a good time doing it with a group of friends!
