    Well, I'm not running 5Ks yet but I ran my first 5 miles today! I'm really proud because I never thought I'd ever run or enjoy running but I do!

    Congrats - I have not been brave enough to enter a race yet, so huge respect to you
    Personal achievment for me today, I graduated from the beginners to the improvers running group in my town and 4.5 miles - sooo happy (and sore) :happy: :happy:

    Outstanding!! I just finished Mud Factor 5K (Mud Run obstacle course) in Sacramento in 1:17 ... so many better looking people that were far more out of shape than myself!

    I drove a route around my neighborhood, trying to figure out what path would be around 3.1 miles, which equals a 5k.

    I've done that route twice now, as I'm training for my first non-walking 5k which is on Oct 20th.

    29 and 27 minutes so far.

    I'm hoping my measurements are accurate, as my goal was to do it in under a half hour.

    Ran my first and only 5k July 14th @ 195lbs (down 90lbs) at 27:48. NOW I have no clue how the heck that happened. Divine intervention I suppose.

    My first was 39 minutes! I hope to have improved by the next one; it was so fun though!

    Congrats...now you have the running/racing bug. Former runner who is just getting back into it. Ran sub 25 a couple of weeks ago and now training for 7:30 pace....not like high school or college, but at least I am still running at 57.

    I have run several 5K's, they range from 30:33 to 36 due to the different courses they are on...we are soon starting our 2nd year of them on the same courses so that will better tell me if I got faster, but my home loop I do is 2.59 and I was 34 and now I am under 26 so.....I average about 10:30/mile on a good day :)

    My most recent 5k was 27:21.
    But I used to run in high school and ran in the low 25's so I'm working to get back to there.
    Great job everyone!
