NSV: Ran My First 5k!

6 weeks ago I started using the c25k app. When I began I couldn't even run to the mailbox on my street (less than 2 minutes run). Today I ran my first 5k at Color Me Rad in Toronto! It was so much fun that I didn't want it to end and if my friends had been up to it I would have jumped back into line for the next heat and done it all again!
If you've got a colour run coming to a city near you, you should go do it. AMAZING amounts of fun!

    GREAT JOB!!! That is a wonderful accomplishment!

    I look forward to when I finally can say the same. The longest I have run nonstop is 2 miles. And I have never run outside, only on the treadmill and I don't know how different it will be. I am super nervous.

    Congratulations!! I'm working up to my first 5K too. I've registered for one in October, might be registering for one in September if I feel prepared... There's a color run coming to my city and I want to do it!
