I completed my first 5K yesterday. My time was 34.01 .... I don't know how "good" my time was but I was so grateful to have completed it. It's a mental thing for me. In the past I've tricked myself into believing I wouldn't be able to do it.. and now I know I can!!! If you've done a 5K what was your first time?

Heck yeah!
You know how good your time is? You set a PR! That's how good it was. Now you have a goal to strive for or go big and run a longer distance.
Good job!0 -
My first 5k I finished it in 37-38 minutes 1 year ago. The last 5k I ran at the beginning of the summer was 29.54!0

I just finished my first one yesterday. It took me 38:40. I am in week 6 of C25K.
Have another one on Thanksgiving Day!
Keep up the good work!0 -
Nice job!!!
2+ years ago at 230 lbs I finished my first 5k in 49 mins.
A few weeks ago I set a 5k race PR at 31:05. After losing 70 lbs this makes me happy! One day I will get under 30 for a 5k race.0 -
Congrats! Your time? your time was great and now you have a PR which gives you a new goal!
Be careful.....races are addictive :laugh:0 -
That is a great time for a first 5K! Heck, finishing a 5K is a great thing...most people never even make it that far! Congrats and kudos and God bless on bigger and better things!0

My first 5k was the Hot chocolate 5k race in Chicago over 30k people. I originally planned on walking but started running and besides for some areas that were so crowded you couldn't get thru I finished in 48 minutes. I was shocked but I ran the whole thing.
I just completed a 5k on 8/27 in 33:50...HUGE PR for me! Goal: to complete in under 30 minutes0 -
Congratulations! I'm running my first 5km October 3rd! I'm nervous! Do you have any tips or advice for first time runners?0

1. Get there early, and warm up
2. Wear nothing new...must be all tried out before the race.
3. Have fun, no matter what, it will be a PR!0 -
That's a fantastic time. I am doing my first ever 5k at the end of the month. My goal is 29:59 :-)0

I ran my first 5K yesterday and I was shooting to break the 40 min mark because my training runs had been about 42 min. I knew I was really pushing myself during the race, but I didn't know the course so I didn't know if the pace was good or not. I finally saw the finish line and ran as hard as I could to the end-- imagine my surprise and pride when I crossed the finish line at 35:40! I don't care if it is a "good" time for most people because it was an AMAZING time for me!0

Thank you EVERYONE!!! I'm doing my second 5K the Sunday in Seattle. It's the Iron Girl 5K. I'm super excited/nervous/happy. My long term goal is to do the Rock & Roll half marathon in Portland in May 2012!!! Last year I couldn't run from my house to my car!!!0

GREAT JOB! It's a great feeling to finish your first race. I did my first 5K on August 20th (34:09). Just did second one last Saturday (33:17). And they are VERY ADDICTIVE! I have signed up for 5 more between now and the end of October!!!0

Fabulous!!! that is actually a great time for your first 5K. I ran one this past Friday night, ended up wheezing so bad I had to walk for a while. Stilled ended in 40 minutes. Gotta get my exercise asthma under control!0
-

All the rest...kick your own *kitten* (and a few others along the way)!0
