    Congratulations - it's one heck of a great feeling isn't it?
    I've now done two with official timing (see profile photo) the past two weekends and even beat my time on the 2nd one!!

    Keep up the great work!!

    Got any plans on an 8K or 10K??

    Thank you!! Wow, this is my first post in the discussion forum and I am overwhelmed with all the positive encouragement.

    I followed the Hal Higdon 5k Novice program, which I found was very helpful. I run slowly, but I'm very proud of myself. I use an indoor track at the YMCA, which is great.

    I hope you succeed in your goals too!! We are in this together :)
    PS I totally agree that a good sports bra is awesome!
