    That is great. What was the over all time? I'm curious because I never ran track. I done a couple, one on a track and the other on the treadmill.

    That is great. Give me something to shoot for as I lose weight. My best is 30:24 and still about 45 lbs over weight and 41.

    Hey chic! That's great! Now I have something else to strive for. I am a new runner and am in training for my first 5K so you have really motivated me! You rock! And that's right...freshmen 15 can take a hike!

    Good for you! That's awesome! I wish I had only gained the Freshman 15! Mine was more like the Freshman 35! I'm 5 years out of college and i'm still trying to work it off!! :ohwell:
