    It's an awesome feeling, no? :)

    Congrats and welcome. Jilly is right, it is an addiction because you can always do a little bit better next time. (At least that's my problem and why I keep going.) Before you know it, you'll be crossing that line in under 40! :D

    Great job! One of my goals is to complete a triathlon someday - but I am sure it starts with the 5K. Way to go!

    I completed my 4th 10k today myself and it feels pretty incredible to be able to do something that previously I wouldn't even imagine. Great job and good luck on your next one.

    We have the same profile picture! Too cool.

    Awesome work. It certainly is addicting. I started off like you and now am training for a full marathon in the Spring.
