    Just had to share and wanted you to share too!

    I finished my FIRST 5k at age 47 in 31:39. I placed 734th out of 1851 entries and 100th out of 280 in my age group! (Yay me!)

    Come on runners-share your accomplishments!

    WOW that's excellent! Congrats!!
    My fastest time was 34 minutes but I'm looking to beat that during the Thanksgiving 5K in my town.

    I drove a route around my neighborhood, trying to figure out what path would be around 3.1 miles, which equals a 5k.

    I've done that route twice now, as I'm training for my first non-walking 5k which is on Oct 20th.

    29 and 27 minutes so far.

    I'm hoping my measurements are accurate, as my goal was to do it in under a half hour.

    There are tons of websites you can use to measure your routes. They are very accurate. Here's one.

    My best official 5K time is 24:21 (back in August). I went for a 3-mile run yesterday and completed it in 22:45, so I'd guess with the extra 100 meters (0.1K) it would have been just over 23 minutes. Never thought I'd be able to get it down to that.

    i have only done 5k mud runs (and a color run). this past saturday i ran my first 10k (normal race). finished the 10k in 1:17. as for the mud runs (and the color run):

    rugged maniac 5K: 1:20
    zombie escape 5k mud run: 1:05
    color me rad 5k: 36 minutes (probably the closest thing to a straight 5k race)

    in 2008 i ran an 8k (very first race ever) in: 1:25

    First 5K time was 36:49, second one was 33:35. So I'm making progress. hoping to eventually get it under 30 minutes, but that'll take a while. Never been a runner, never thought I could be, so I'm pretty happy about this.

    I ran a 5K this past weekend in my fastest time yet, 24:22. That put me 54th out of 371 total and 9th out of 28 in my age group (M40-49)

    I did the same race last year in 32:45. What a difference a year can make!

    Great idea for a post!

    My personal best 5K time: 22:56, 7:24 pace, 5/28/2012.

    I was hoping to get under 22 minutes this year.. but between injuries, vacations, etc... haven't run another 5k since then!

    My first 5k was about 28-29 minutes in March 2010... it was done through a student group at a local university so the race times weren't terribly accurate.

    Well, I'm not running 5Ks yet but I ran my first 5 miles today! I'm really proud because I never thought I'd ever run or enjoy running but I do!

    5km = 3.2 miles (approx).
