Ran my 1st ever 5K race today!!!! :)

That is awesome!! I just started using an app to run a 5K. I completed week one last week and start week 2 tonight.

Thank you so much!! That is awesome!! (congrats on your accomplishments so far...you will do great!!!!)...Keep me posted on how your doing!!

Way To Go!! :drinker: What was your time? If you don't mind sharing? Congratulations!

Thank you! (38.19)

Oops...should have been 38.18 :laugh:

That's fantastic, well done you!! I ran my first 5k about 4 years ago (I hated running before then) and this coming Sunday I will be completing my 4th Half Marathon (and I ran a Marathon last April). Running is great ... it's free, it's not expensive, it helps shed the pounds and keeps you fit and most importantly IT MAKES YOU FEEL GREAT. Everyone who runs is doing it for their own reason and when you reach your goal, the feeling is immense.

So once again, well done on your first 5k and I look forward to hearing how your first HM goes too!!!

Keep on running ....... xx

Thank you so much!!! (your 4th half marathon, & already completed a full marathon?? INCREDIBLE!!...great job!!!!) I agree, running is different than anything else I've done...it's that complete sense of accomplishment, & the feeling afterwards (and even the day after..lol) is incredible....I agree, the feeling is immense!! (this is my first running goal that I've accomplished...looking forward to working hard and trying to accomplish the half marathon goal).

Again, thank you....and look forward to hearing how your half marathon goes this Sunday (you will do amazing!!!!!)

Congrats! Much applause to you!!

And I liked seeing your plan to work for a bit on your 5k time and prep for a 1/2M 6 months out. A good approach that will let your body continue to build up and reduce risks of overtraining or injury.

Thank you so much!!! (building my body up slowly for a half marathon is my plan because avoiding the risk of injury is so important, but working on building a better 5K speed is also a goal of mine)
