Completed my first official race today! 31:58 was my time and it felt really great to finish. Going to keep running and hope to improve my time for the next race.

    Be careful ... I hear participating in events such as 5K's, 10K's, half marathons, and full marathons can be addictive.

    Congrats!!

    Congratulations and great job!

    (and sjtreely is right -- be careful, these things are addicting and you'll soon find yourself obsessing over PRs constantly....)

    Excellent! I also completed my first 5k this morning! 37:15 was my time. I've never been a runner...thought I never would be. It feels amazing to have finished and I hope to finish more in my future. Great job!

    Thanks all for the kind words! I was so jazzed, I went and played basketball for a couple hours today too :)
