After week 7 of the C25K, I had my first 5K yesterday! The Dirty Girl Mud Run! It was hard because it was uphill, running through mud, rocks and sand, and there were about 8 obstacles on the course. I'm sore today in places I didn't know I had muscles, but it was AMAZING! and let me tell you, I had to walk parts of it, but I was sooooooo excited to have done it! I have another 5K in 2 weeks (The breast cancer Race for the Cure) and another on April 6 (the Rave Run). Sign up for one, whether you feel READY or not, it will motivate you!!!!!!

    Great job. I need to sign up for one for April to keep me focused on a goal. My 5k is next week and I'm also around week 7 of the program.

    That's awesome. I have signed up for a 1 mile on 3/23 and a 5k on March 30th. You are so right it does serve as a great inspiration to not give up.

    Congrats!! I really want to do a mud run. Did you use old shoes?

    YES I used old shoes. they actually washed up really well and I put them aside for future mud runs. THEY ARE ADDICTING! We already registered for next year's Dirty Girl. We also want to do the Kiss Me Dirty one........... but the Tough Mudder looks a littttttle too intimidating for us! We like the ones that are girls only. BTW I had to wash my clothes 3 times to get all the mud out, LMAO!!! It was a blast................... now we have the Race for the Cure in two weeks, and then the Rave Run two weeks after that, all 5K's... keeps my butt moving forward!
