I ran my first 5K yesterday with a time of 26:25. I wanted finish in 22 -23 min, but I guess that is not a horrible time for only training for 2 weeks. I was so happy upon finishing--I couldn't believe that I had run 3.1 miles without stopping and at an ok pace! Sorry I am just proud of myself! Just thought I would share.

There are 2 photos in my profile if you want to see how goofy my face looks when I run!1:laugh:

    Fantastic, well done. I gave up trying to run when bits of me kept falling off!
