I did my first 5k this weekend and it was pretty awesome. There were so many people it was amazing to see. I have to say that everyone was very nice and encouraging to me. I felt really accepted and welcomed. I have always been intimidated by runners because they tend to be in pretty good shape. But, even the people doing the long distances (1/2 marathon) were really friendly. I did Couch to 5k and it worked really well to prepare me. I did walk a bit of the course (there were a lot of people walking) so next time my goal is work up to running the entire 3 miles.
