    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!

    DAYUM Girl! I've been doing 5K's almost every weekend since October and I haven't gotten under 30minutes yet - GOOD FOR YOU!!!

    Way too Go!! I'm trying to do the same thing, Get it down to under thirty minutes for a Breast Cancer 5K walk in October with my Son and his girlfriend. It definitely gives me a reason to get on the elliptical.

    Fantastic.. I just ran my second 5K....I still can't get under 30 minutes. My time last weekend was 33:15... I guess thats not to bad for someone who qualifies for the senior citizen discount

    I agree (confidence booster). I did my 1st 5K in October 2010 and wanted to do it WITHIN 40 minutes (what I had been averaging when practicing at the gym).

    I finished in 36:24.

    This coming October, I'm striving to beat that time.

    Great work! I just started the C25K today. I started on Week 4, because I've been using the treadmill for the past month and I'm hoping to do a 5K at the end of April. I'm just hoping to have my time under 40 minutes!

    I'm doing my first 5k in May. I had to use my treadmill to train so I am hoping for good time. Good luck to you

    Thank you. Are you doing the C25K or are you just training on your own? Good luck to you and feel free to add me and we can keep pushing each other.

    Well done that's a fabulous time and congratulations on your progress so far.

    I'm doing the C25K training programme. I'm on week 3 (kind of) and I ran 4k in 29 minutes on Monday. On Saturday I ran 5K in 41. I'm doing the Race For Life 5K in May and hope to hit under 30 minutes too.

    Congratulations! Running a 5K is a huge accomplishment! I've signed up for my first one and am hoping it will kick-start a more healthy running regimen!

    Good for you, you've earned it!

    I just added you. I am training all on my own. i am trying to get in shape cause my oldest will be in kindergarten next year and i'll be walking with her to and from school.. and she wants to do the kids marathon we have here and a parent has to run with them.
