I just did my first 5k this weekend, the Hot Chocolate 5k in Chicago! It was a fun "kick off" to this new journey. I'm sure I want to get healthier, but it's a bit scary. I have a lot to lose and a lifestyle to change... Encouragement/Advice would be appreciated! Thanks for reading!

Good for you!
I just signed up for my first 5k today, a Thanksgiving Turkey Trot on the 18th! I don't know what I was thinking...I'm not a runner, I don't run, I don't know how to run! But I am really excited for it!0 -
With 40,000 people, it didn't feel like much of a race. It was more like a ton of people running together and lots of them cheering each other on. Most people just try to compete against their own time, I think. You should try it! It was a total high to be running with such a large group!0

Awesome! I think you'll love it!0

An 8k, that's awesome! One day!0

I did the hot chocolate 5k yesterday also! It was my first 5k! I was so proud that I did it in 38:28. I know that's not fabulous, but I just wanted to finish under 45 min. since they said you had to do 15 minute miles.0

Congratulations! Keep it up and it gets easier. I used to struggle to run a 5k without taking a short walking break and I can now crank 'em out with regularity. I'm running a 10k on Sunday and hoping that it will go well.0 -
Congrats on your first 5K. I'm running my first in 2 weeks.0
