    My most heartfelt congratulations! Although I run regularly, I haven't found the courage to enter a 5K for some reason. Somebody kick me in a**, please! :bigsmile:

    Last Tuesday night I walked (and even ran a bit) my first 5K. Never ever thought I would do such a thing! I finished in 1:07:50. Which I thought was pretty good for me. The last 10 minutes were done in the midst of a wicked thunderstorm and serious downpour, but with the finish line in sight, I just couldn't quit.

    I'm even thinking about doing another one.

    Welcome to the club! Every time you tow the line and compete against yourself, you'll get that sense of satisfaction!! Next time you'll go sub 43:00 or so, before you know it. . . you'll be a racing star! Go get it!!!! :-)

    Oh you give me hope! I have recently decided to try running & have signed up for a 5K in July. I'm kinda freaking out that I am not going to be able to run it. I would love any helps/ideas/suggestions you have to throw my way! I too am 220lbs, 5'10 and totally not a runner!
