NSV! 5k (3.1miles) straight!

It's the first time I've ran a 5k with no breaks! I just ran it in 35:08 which to me is a great start. My goal is sub 28 by this time next month but that was a huge huge step for me. I've done it before with a break or two but this time I gunned it and pushed through the blocks.

Whew what a day!!

That's awesome, great job! I'm still working on it myself. I can do 5k in about 37 minutes total but I usually run my first mile, then alternate walking (4 mph) and running (6-6.5 mph) in 3 minute chunks until I'm done. I hope when I'm a bit lighter that I'll be able run the entire time. Congrats again!

That's awesome! I can't run a whole 5k yet and usually walk/run alternate and do about a 13 min mile but I can't wait to run the whole thing! Kudos to you!

im saying that's not a bad time at all. Remember to exercise for health not for the opposite.

Awesome job!!!! I just completed my second 5K and I'm now training for a 10K. I ran mine in about 40 minutes, a 13.11 mile pace accordning to the race results. I'm just coming back to running after a fractured ankle and was just happy to cross the finish line.

Keep up the great work!!!!!

Oh, how exciting, running becomes quite addictive. I am running 5X a week for at 5.3km (my loop is wierd and I wanted some hills. I just started being able to run the entire distance with the exception of the 3 big hills. In a few weeks I hope to conquer them too.

I live for the endorphin and adrenaline rush of running and lifting weights. I can't stop.

Thanks for the back pats folks I appreciate it. I also want to say- I started at 260lb not being able to run a single minute. This has taken a long long time but you can do it too!

GREAT JOB!!!!

I actually did the SAME thing tonight! The last time I went the full distance I had to walk a few minutes but tonight I finished the whole thing running for the very first time and it felt awesome!
