I am proud to say I completed the Chase Corporate Challenge 3.5 mile race today, which also happened to be my first race. It's crazy to think that I started the c25k program only 8 weeks ago, and could barely run the 60 seconds. Goes to show a little determination and a lot of sore feet can really accomplish something!

    I run my first race on saturday, a 5K. I started the c25k about two months ago as well and the min runs were kicking my butt as well. I hope I have as much success as you did!! Way to go and keep up the great work!!

    Awesome! You are going to love racing. I finished C25K about a month or two ago and just ran 10k last weekend. Never ran before. It's definitely a game changer...

    Very nice! Racing can become addicting, especially once you see your times get faster and faster. Pick your next challenge and train for it! Congrats!

    Thanks everyone! I'm already searching around for my next race. I'm almost tempted to do the Warrior Dash next!

    Warrior dash is all sorts of fun! I think you should totally do it! And wear your Coors Light Armor too!

    Hehe I don't think the cardboard would last very long! Maybe if I make it from the cans themselves!
