    Cold and wet, but overall it was a good experience for my first 5K, just sore and exhausted from it.

    AWESOME!!! Well done on your first...and to hear that you have more planned is a boost for me. I have my 1st coming up next Saturday the 12th and I'm nervous, beginning to think I'm overstepping my confidence level, maybe I shouldn't do it... To hear everyone else here doing it, I'm sticking with my plan.

    GREAT success story!!

    Congrats!! I completed my first 5k over Labor Day, and agree that they are addicting! Seems like they have one every weekend right now. We are signed up for a Superheroes vs. Villians one in a few weeks, and then an Ugly Sweater 5k for the holidays! I end up walking/running with my double-stroller, so its a bonus workout for me too.

    Good luck on your future runs!
