From the first posts, it appears that this group - one of the largest groups in MFP - was started on or around November 7, 2011.

What would you say to a commemorative virtual 3.1k race (about 2 miles) on the 6th, 7th or 8th of November? (Meaning you run 2 miles on ONE of those days and post your time here.)

    Pretty much everybody who starts C25k today should be running about 2 miles on one of those days anyway.

    I am in. I should be done with Zombies, Run! C25K program. Unless this cold side lines me this week. I am trying to not let it win but it is truly draining all my energy.

    More it's about a week after my Tough Mudder, than not thinking I can do it. After 21km's I might still be in recovery and hobble mode LOL
    Week and half, so I should be running again by then.. I hope!

    Sounds great! Yesterday I completed week 4 of C25K so by Nov I should be ready to go. This group has been a great for my learning to run journey and this will be great motivation to keep me going through the next few weeks :happy:

    All for it. That will be my first 5K and that will be just perfect considering the fact that I will have completed C25K with the support of this group. :smile:

    I'm putting my name down for this one!

    If it wasn't for C25K and this forum in particular, I'd not be a runner now :)

    I created a thread for us to post our times for our commemorative virtual 3.1K (2 mile) race.

    Oh, I didn't miss it! :bigsmile: I was searching for a 'virtual 5k' thread.

    I thought a 2 mile run might be more achievable for C25kers. I wasn't running more than 2.5 miles by week 9, myself.
