Hello all! I ran in my first 5k run on Thanksgiving day! I finished with a time of 29:14! This is so exciting to me because 6 months ago I was 60 pounds heavier and couldn't even walk a mile. I am going to keep training and hope to run in a half marathon in May. Has anyone else ran their first 5k recently?

    I did that backwards! I ran my first half marathon and then did a 5k this last year. If you find a good course the half will be really fun! I have since ran another half and I am planning a half in May as well! 24 weeks to train! Plenty of time to be fully ready for a 13.1 mile run!

    not my first, I've run many, but congrats on a great first race! That is a solid time and you should be proud!! And congrats on losing 60 pounds too

    Haven't run a 5K race yet, but I did just complete the C25K program last night and ran my first continuous 5K without walking. So I'm happy about that :)
