My first real 5K run after graduating the C25K program

This morning I did a 5K charity run to benefit the Children's Miracle Network. I finished in a respectable (for me) 27 minutes, 10th overall, and third in my age group. I realize this wasn't a "serious race" or I would have come in much further behind the pack leaders, but considering that 6 months ago I could barely manage to run for more than a minute or two at a time I'm very happy.

For all of you working your way through the Couch-2-5K program... it works!

    Congrats! I'm running a 5K on Thanksgiving, and right now, I'm not doing C2-5K program, I am doing my own thing that works. I'm up to 3.1 miles, with a time of 37 minutes. Keep up the good work!

    Congrats! I have all the information for the C25K program, but so far have lacked any follow through. Your accomplishment is inspiring! I am going to try again starting this week!
