    CONGRATS!!! You did it! The first 5k is seriously the best. It's exhilarating! So happy for you that you did this. I know I don't know you, but it makes me happy :). Keep it up!!

    I'm looking for my next 5K. My goal is simply to finish and ideally finish with beating my own personal time. (and next time I'm going to make sure to pee before the race starts! LOL)

    You all have been so sweet. I have heard real runners are! And thus far, that has been my experience. SO...thank you to all of the SWEET WONDERFUL KIND SUPPORTIVE runners and MFP people out there. You all know who you are! (and those that aren't/can't read or do math...don't deserve the typing time!)

    One person's walk is another person's jog. We're not all the same, we're all different types of weight/height/fitness level. Please ignore the dudes comment.
    My favourite quotes are
    "no matter how slow you go you're still lapping everyone on the couch"
    "whether its a 7 minute mile or a 14 minute mile its still a mile" (and I like to change it to 20 minute mile sometimes)

    You finished and you beat your personal best. That's what matters.
    You're doing it!

    Congratulations That was my plan for the summer--to run in my first 5K and do several of them. Somehow, I never got it accomplished. Started out the summer walking and jogging then got "busy" and never seemed to find the time to fit it in. You are an inspiration. Time for me to do it too!

    You ROCK Michelle! I am so proud of you for sticking with the program and completing your first 5k! Keep up the great work!

    You were my inspiration! I remember YOUR first. It seems so long ago, but it really wasn't. and now YOU are a regular runner!
    THANK YOU for setting the example!
