I'm so happy! I just finished running my first 5K in 33:10! I managed to run the entire time without slowing to a walk once. That last mile, I was really able to pick up the pace.

I was even happier that I could do it because I have only run on a treadmill and this was entirely outside on a sandy trail.

When I first started running, I couldn't even run for 5 minutes. It feels so nice to see progress, especially since I have only lost 3 pounds due to my terrible diet!

    Congratulations!!:bigsmile: From a treadmill to trail, that's not easy and a great time as well! I'm still running 12min miles 2 yrs later, but at least I'm running.

    The high after a race is addicting! I'm sure you're ready for your next.

    I wish you the best of luck on your next challenge and now you know you can do it!
