Today was an incredible day for me i woke up and weighed in and 55lbs lost today and left to go run my first 5k I finished in 29:45!!!!! i've been training to get it under 30 minutes but i never expected to do it! For anyone who wants a major self esteem booster do a 5k i feel on top of the world!

WOW WOW WOW
Amazing job! Thats insane! Under 30 mins? You should feel so proud of yourself! Congrats on the weight loss!
You are right, do a 5k and feel on top of the world!
Actually, Last year I saw my DH compete in a 5k and told him next year I would do it too. Yesterday was the 5k and I told myself Id run a mile of it and walk the rest... I ran the whole damn thing. Like 36.40 I think my time was, but hell Ill take it cuz I didnt even know I could do that in the first place. Now I want to start training to get my time better. Slightly addicting.
Im proud though this time last year I wouldnt have even been able to walk it =]
Keep on doing what you are doing its a good inspiration!0 -

Are you doing any of the C25K programs? There are lots of threads with folks using that program! I just started Week 2 after a 5 year running hiatus (used to run half marathons).0 -
Awesome!!!!
This is one of my goals as well although I'm nowhere near your time... still at about 45 min. But I'm working on it! I'm only a few weeks in but have found that I am totally getting the "running high"!0 -

to be honest i just started running 6 weeks ago i lost 40 pounds using the eliptical and hit a plateau bad didn't lose a thing for almost 3 weeks. My doctor suggested i try another cardio exercise and i got on the treadmill and walked 3 minutes ran 7 for an hour i puked. i had no idea what i was doing i didn't go back to the gym for 2 days then i tried again for 45 minutes my first goal was to run a mile without stopping then 2 then 3 after i ran 1 mile without stopping i signed up for the 5k and used that to push myself. it's hard but so worth it! I started losing weight again after 3 days of running and that made me feel better about doing it.0 -

Great job!!!
I have been tempted to register for a 5K but I am embarrassed at how slow I run. Without giving full details, lets just say the young lady who started this thread could run circles around me. I probably wouldn't be as embarrassed if it wasn't for the fact that I am a former Marine and they are kind of known to be able to run. :ohwell:
But one day, I hope to get my time low enough to consider it. I obviously won't wait until I am a super fast runner; however, I at least want to not have every other registrant waiting at the finish line for 15 minutes for me to huff and puff my way across it. :laugh:
Great job on conquering your first one. I hear from other running friends that running races, 5k or longer, becomes VERY addictive.0
