    Congratulations! Running races can be addictive! Consider yourself warned! Good job!

    Thank you so much, & that's what I've been told by quite a few people (I'm already looking forward to the next one) :wink:

    GOOD ON YOU! Isn't it a great feeling when you finish the run?! And when you realise that you can and are doing something you previously doubted. You have achieved something really wonderful, and it is so cool that you shared your moment with us all.

    I had run years ago, but it was definitely not my favourite thing. Now it is the easiest way of exercising outdoors with my youngest daughter (oldest - 8 - comes with us on her bike when she is not in school), and I am decidedly hooked. It always makes me smile when I read about the joy someone else is experiencing, because it makes me feel like I am sharing my excitement and new-found love and appreciation of running with others.

    So happy for you, and looking forward to hearing more posts from you about future runs.

    Well done

    Thank you so much!!! (Yes, it is a great feeling, especially since 5 months ago I would have never imagined it). I started out walking, then power walking, but a couple good friends suggested running & I thought "no way can I do this"..tried it, and gradually added time and distance...now I'm loving it (its the sense of accomplishment that you feel). Looking forward to doing more 5K's, working more on gradually getting my time better, and working towards the goal of a half marathon 6 months from now...

    That is great that your daughter goes with you also...it's important to get children involved. I've taken my daughter (who will be 9 in December) a couple times on her bike, & she loves getting out there and having fun with me...& my son is very athletic with football, etc etc, & what made me the happiest yesterday was he & his friends were handing out water at the water station during the race & when I ran by he said "good job mom, go mom", and then at the end of the race he yelled "great job mom" as I ran in, and was at the finish line giving me a hug afterwards...he's so proud his mom is getting healthier and is a huge supporter of me. :smile:

    Thank you again, & wishing you a wonderful day!!

    If you would have told me 5 months ago that I'd be running, let alone running a 5K race today, I would have thought you were crazy!! ......but I did it today!! It felt so incredible going out there and running 3.1 miles nonstop! :smile:

    Next on my agenda is working harder on getting a faster 5K time, and I've also registered for a half marathon race 6 months from now (starting on a training plan tomorrow to get myself ready for it)
