When an achievement doesn't feel like it...

Here's the backstory... I began the C25K program back in October. Pushed through week by week and month by month until I "graduated" the program right before Christmas. I've been adding in time week by week and am now running 40 minutes straight and 4.1+ miles...
So here's my dilemma... I don't feel like I've accomplished anything. I've signed up for the Susan G. Komen "Race for the Cure" 5K in March, but even knowing that I can complete that, I think "5K? So what?". Is there a runner's funk? Has anyone else felt like this? If so, what did you do to get over it?
I'd love to just "get over myself".

Man, you're sure tough on yourself! What would you tell a friend who'd done what you've done? Probably, "Way to go!"
It's OK, you can treat yourself as you would a friend!
Now if a 5k no longer means much to you, set your sights on a new goal. But don't discount what you've achieved!0
