We started getting serious about our health in January. Between us we have lost almost 80lbs, and went from a sedentary life with lots of pizza and beer to running a 5k, in the dark with occasional dirt path, in 35 minutes! I'm so happy and proud and excited to keep going. I've had setbacks, and sometimes felt like I wasn't making progress, but I'm so glad I set a goal and achieved it.

It was in Cleveland. And I totally forgot to set map my run for it, so I'm not sure. I would hope they would have been better at distancing it though0

Way to go! Now that you've done it once, you'll want to do it again

Honestly though, I've been running about an 11:30 mile, and I only walked maybe 3 minutes total. So anything much shorter than 3.1 would make my 35 minutes not make much sense.0
