Wow! I never thought I would run in a race with other people!! I did my first 5K yesterday and shaved 5 minutes off my time! I did it in 32 minutes! What a feeling you get at the finish line - you can't even explain it!

I had a fabulous time! - Wait - fabulous time? Running? That can't be right - I hate running - wait, hate running? Is there something wrong with me?! I used to hate running - that's right! Now I remember =)

    Good job.
    I enjoy running (jogging in my case) and am at my goal weight, but I still don't think I would have the guts to do any races. I'm too sloth-like in my jogging.

    Congrats on your first 5K.

    Fantastic Work and Super Awesome Time too!
    I'm going through Zombies, Run 5k Training now and have a tentative 4k untimed race and am looking for a locked in 5K to do as well. I would be very happy to finish, never mind breaking PB's.

    You ROCK! what a wonderful inspiration!
