    So happy for you! Have you been to runsforcookies.com? You may get a lot from that...she lost 125lbs and started 5k's. Her story is very inspirational. Great job!

    Congrats! And congrats on your time, wish my first one had been even close to that good. Not that it matters, I still beat the time of the people who never started.

    I did my first 5k last Sunday. I had not run in months, but I was the first female back, with a time of just under 24 minutes.
    I would not say I enjoyed doing it, as suffering with COPD (lung disease), it is the hardest form of exercise for me, but the elation at not only finishing, but getting such a good time is certainly making me consider a few more next year.
    Well done on your first 5k, and here's to your next ones.

    Congratulations!! I have my first 5K race on September 13 and I cannot wait for it!! I finished the C25K app and now I am just trying to work on my time! Did it in 34:04 this morning. Hope to take another couple minutes off that before September! Did you do the C25K app to get ready for yours?
