I ran my first 5K last year (June) weighing in at 230-ish pounds (my heaviest was 273). My only goal was to run the whole thing, no stopping, no walking and I did that. My time was about 37:45.
Less than one year later, I'm weighing in at 164 pounds and this week I have consistently run my practice 5K's in less than 30 minutes! My time today was 28:53!!!
I can't wait to hit the roads this spring and see what kind of times I can get in a real race!
WOO HOO!

That is amazing! It must feel so good. I'm training for a 5K sometime this year on the treadmill. But I'm also curious to see how I do in the "real world". What an inspiration!0

Congrats! That is amazing! Where are you from? Runner's World has a good guide of road races that are a lot of fun to do if you are looking for something different. They do list a lot of longer races, but I know that they include different 5ks that have fun themes and stuff. But anyway, way to go and good luck with your running!0
