how long does it roughly take you to run 5k?

    It just depends on how fast you are... at a relatively slow jog, you can do it in 36 minutes or less. :-)

    First time was around 50 minutes. After 2 years I'm down to about 39 minutes. Depends if you walk or walk/run or run and obviously your speed. I didn't start them until I was 49 and I started walking them as fast as I could. Now I run some, walk some.

    MY PR is 26:52 for a 5k. I have been focusing on longer distances lately, so it's actually a few years since I've run a 5k.

    I just finished my first 5K on Sat in 25 min and 25 seconds. I was pretty happy with my time. I think if you're just out there moving, you're doing pretty good! :)

    My PR is 24:20, but that was many moons ago when I was 50 lb's lighter. I am anywhere between 27-30 minutes depending on how my knee feels.

    Ok, I didn't realize you wanted to know our times. :-) My unofficial PR (it was a training run) is 29:37

    My PR is 26:15, down from 35:00 in my first 5k several years ago.

    Marathon PR is 4:34:40 (if you're interested), down from 5:35:XX in my first one.

    I JUST ran in my first race ever (a 5K) yesterday, and set a new personal best of 23:56! It was exhilarating!

    I got a nice flat 5K in 3 weeks. I'm looking to go under 20. We'll see how it goes.

    I ran a 5K a couple weeks ago in 25:26 (or 25:22?) - I don't run 5Ks too often though.
