My first 5K done! Ready for the next one! (pic)

Who would EVER have thought that I (ms. I only run if I'm being chased) would ever run a 5K... Not me!
But I did and I feel amazing.
Just wanted to share my Before and After

    get the direct links and add [ img ] to the front and [ / img ] to the back without the spaces. It should work then.

    Yay! I'm on week 4 (and a half?) of C25K with the goal of a 5K in November. Hoping to post similar results!

    Lol to "I only run when being chased"....I am the same but caught the running bug a few years ago too. I haven't been doing it lately (am doing mostly walking), but after seeing your post I feel the urge to sign up for a 5k! Maybe I will choose something at the end of the year and give myself time to train.
    Congrats on your achievement! You must feel fantastic. Thanks for the inspiration!

    NICE!! So...I'm doing my first 5K in 4 weeks and am very nervous. I'm curious...My husband said that once you are in that race environment that you end up finishing faster than you think you will because you get caught up in it and having the people around helps keep you going. Just wondering if you had that experience (if you feel like sharing). Anyway, CONGRATS!

    fantastic
  • I remember being hung over many times in the car driving back from whoevers party watching all the early birds jogging and id always say something like "WHY would you want to spend your life running at THIS time of morning, what a waste of life!"

    I have just started jogging as of last week and I think I have the running bug. It's addictive.

    Congratz on your accomplishment :)

    I ran way faster than I've ever run. You get so fired up running and trying to keep up with the others. It was an amazing experience!
  • Congratulations! Doesn't running just change your life? I did my first 5K this year too. I went from hating running to wondering why I haven't done it all my life. :-) I have a 10K on Sunday (first one) and I've recklessly signed up for a half-marathon next May.... Good luck in your future races!

    Congrats on completing your 1st 5k! I will be running my 1st 5k next Tuesday. I've been training w/the C25K app and just completed week 6 day 1. I train 3xs a week. Every time I look at what I have to do I always think I'm going to die I can't do this, and every time I surprise myself and complete the challenge. I only have a small group of friends on MFP. I would like to have more friends for the encouragement of running.
