That is awesome!! Congrats! I did my first 10k last month and it was the best feeling in the world. I'm doing a 5k at the end of this month just for the fun of it. Once you start, you really can't stop :happy: .0 -
Congrats!!! I haven't done any long distance running since I got out of the military.0

Congratulations!! Quite a few years back I did the same thing. Lived near a bay area where there were regular 5K competitions, so I decided to try one a month and try to improve my time with each one. I was never concerned with winning the race, just improving my own time. I think after about 6 or 8 of them I had a difference of 12 min/mi to my best time which was 7:50/mi.
So I am soooooo happy for you and encouraged by you to keep on track! Great job!!!:happy: :happy:0 -
