    I just ran my first 5k on Saturday (Walk for Hope through the Phoenix Zoo) in 36:02. My goal was 35 minutes but considering how many hills I encountered, I'm lucky I finished at all! It was so much fun and I hope to improve my time for the next one in 2 weeks.

    I think I'm addicted!!! :love:

    Not so much for myself, but I ran a 5K with my 8 year old daughter last weekend. 26:26. That little girl continues to impress me.

    No I have not, but my normal daily run is 5 miles so I figured 3.1 would be fairly easy.

    Its still a very good pace I would imagine.

    Congratulations. What a great achievement. I have recently started C25K and and feeling like I might not make it through week 3! :)

    I did the Warrior Dash in May and that was completed in 50:51. This event included a 5k run and 12 obstacles. I just did the Casey Cares Foundation 5k run this past Sunday in the rain, up hill run in 36 minutes.

    My last 5k run was 36 minutes. I'm hoping to knock a minute off that by the end of the month!

    I ran my first 5k in 42:00. Now I'm doing a C25K program and I have a 5k in November. If I could do it in 36 minutes, I would be happy!

    My first 5K (Sept 2009) was just under 40 min, a couple of weeks ago I ran the same race in 26:07

    My 5k PR is 26:20...But, since I have been training for triathlon, my 5K time has gotten worse. The good news is, I can run a lot more miles now. i am training for my first full marathon this coming Feb.

    Don't worry, you will. It's an amazing program. I started 2 months ago 3-4 times a week and I'm running my first 5k next sunday.

    My first 5K was sunday and I finished in 31:19 - 64th overall and 7th for women in my age bracket. I am very pleased. My next race I am aiming for under 28 minutes. For spring I have some longer races - a 6K and an 8K.

    My first 5k was actually 3.4 miles (trail run) and I came in at 37 minutes. I have another 5k on the 21st and I am hoping to get in at under 32 minutes :).

    The only 'race' I have done was a 10K (it was my goal when I stopped smoking!) - 1 hour 7 mins, I felt diappointed but after 4 weeks off running I can't imagine getting there again. Did just over 7K this afternoon in about 47 mins, but that was a mixture of running and walking. Seeing this thread has made me think about actually timing a 5K and then having a 'measurement' and goal to head towards. Seeing your times has also made me realise that I'm not as unfit as I had talked myself into!!

    Congrats to all

    Congrats!! That is an awesome first race time! My first 5K was like 38 minutes I think. I just got a PR in a 5K about a month ago at 30:29. Now I'm looking to get below 30...gotta love that racing bug! ;)
