Just wanted to share because I am super excited! I did my first 5k today! Walk/jog and there were some beast hills but I pushed through! I completed it in 53:37, not great I know but I am really proud that 1) I did it and 2) when I did it on the treadmill at the gym my best was 56:47!!

    congratulations.
    What a nice feeling to know that we have made up our mind for something and we didi it!.
    I did my fist 5k official (36.02 minutes) a week ago and i was so proud after. So i know how you feel.
    That was actually the confidence i was looking for after my bad sprain ankle in march (has left me unable to run comfortably until now). After my 5K, i said "ok now you have done that,so now keep running but with 10 k in mind".

    PS. Hey it is always good to beat our best PR. WOW!
    Good luck (but i sure you don't need it,your are doing so fine!) for your next race.

    You did a great job! Congratulations. :smile:
  • Thanks everyone!! I am absolutely excited to do my next one and on a hopefully flatter course so I can see what my time would be :) I have the hopes of doing a 10k also eventually! This running thing is pretty addicting!
