    Congrats! That's great. I did my first 5K ever in september and it was awesome. I did it in 32 minutes and that was the fastest I had done it also. I can't wait to do another. Would like to get up to a 10K.

    Great job!!! :drinker:

    I haven't had the guts to sign up for one yet, but I've curiously looked at the schedules. I'm on W9D3 this week, and haven't gotten to 3.1 miles yet but I guess that's what I'll work on next! I usually like to run alone but maybe the cheering would push be along... hmmmm

    Thank you! I built my endurance on the treadmill too. I was running outside until I moved into the city. I'm hoping to start outside again soon but the treadmill worked just fine for the 5K :)
