I graduated at the beginning of the month. But all 4 of my 5K runs have been on the treadmill. I've started moving my runs outside. I did one mile, then I did 2 a couple of times. Last night, I ran 3.1 miles---outside! My time was 54:29 It was my best 5K time, and my first one outside.

This is terrific news! Julie, you're taking to jogging so naturally. Way to go!
Today, I ran the fastest I've ever run outdoors: a 13.5 minute mile. Still slow by some standards but quicker than my usual, so I'm happy. Although I haven't run a complete 5K without stopping to walk yet (outdoors, that is....I can do it on the treadmill), I'm running longer distances before stopping for a short walking period. I will soon join you in being able to run 5K outdoors.
You rock, Julie!0 -

My first race won't be until July: The Alien Chase. (I live in Roswell, NM). There is a zoo run next month that was going to be my first, but I am doing the Walk for Hope (cancer walk) on Friday from 6pm to midnight. I didn't think it would be wise to attemp my first 5K the next morning! 0 -
That's tooooo faaaar away. I'm so impatient for you. Sign up for an earlier one! Do it!0

Congratulations!
Did you find it harder running outside than on the treadmill?
I've just started couch to 5k. I decided to do it outside while the weather is not to hot, but
I'll have to do it on my treadmill in a few weeks.0
