Good job, the time is awesome. I am trying to decide a time to shoot for my 5K in May, maybe I'll try for sub 30 . . . it's a longshot, but just maybe . . . thanks for the inspiration!0

way to go.....I wish i could build up that stamnia to run a 5k0

Thanks so much everybody! I honestly did want to set very high expections for myself so I wouldn't be disappointed but I thought that I would just shoot for 30 or under. Really, my main goal was to (like I said in the OP) just not die!
As far as training goes, I just mapped out a route and just ran it about 4 times a week. At first, if I needed to walk, I walked....I didn't push myself too hard but as time got closer to my 5K, I really tried to just run the whole way and not go for speed. Now, I'm about to start training for a half using www.marathonrookie.com0 -
That is wonderful! yay you indeed!0

Amazing! Very well done :flowerforyou: You must be so thrilled with yourself. I'm on week one of c25k - I'm not sure I'll ever be a runner - you're an inspiration to people like me!
