Yesterday I competed in a 5k for the first time in about 7 years. I had a goal time of 40:00, and I made it just under, at 39:34!! I feel so pumped, I just found another in December to sign up for!

    Woo hoo!! Good job, and great time! I'm in week 4 of the Couch to 5K program, and hope to run one in November. I used to love running until bad knees caught up with me. Going through the C25K program is helping me get back (so far) to running without pain or injury. It's also such a great cardio workout!

    Keep up the good work!!

    Congratulations! I know how that feels! I started with being able to run only 35 seconds and in June this year I finally ran my first half-marathon :D

    Way to go! Running a 5k is one of my fitness goals - thanks for the inspiration! (Great time, by the way! Way lower than mine would be at this point!)

    Thanks all! I can't believe I am typing this, but I just agreed to run 2 more 5ks with friends and family before the end of the year!
