I've done 3 half marathons and several 5ks, but when I first started losing weight and running, the Cooper River Bridge Run in Charleston is the first big race I did. It's huge with around 40,000 participants. It's become a tradition with a friend, and I strive to do better each time. The first year I did it, it took me 1:13:13 to do the 10K course. Last year, I did it in 0:58:38, and this year, I did it in 00:56:20!! That's running an average of a 9min 4 second mile! I'm so proud of myself! Running is awesome!

    Way to go! That is an awesome time!

    I was there, too. ;) This was my first year, and I didn't do nearly as good as you, but I loved it and will be making it a tradition, I think. My new goal for next year is to run it completely, rather than just halfway like this time. :)

    Wow, that's a really great pace! I have my first 10K race coming up this weekend, I think I'd be happy with anything 62mins and under, lol.

    That's awesome! I have only done one 5k so far in 32 minutes. I'm doing 2 more 5ks this year and my first 10k in September! I hope I can do it in 60 minutes.
