I ran my first 5K last weekend, at just under 35 minutes. Unbelievable!

    That's fantastic. I'm not fast on pavement. My first was around 45 mins, my most recent was 40:11. Great job!! I'm training for a half-marathon next Sept/Oct so I'm hella nervous.

    THAT IS AWESOME!! 35 minutes is my personal goal. My first 5K I finished at 41'03". My second 5K (which was this past Saturday in the cold, rain) I crossed at 38'35"

    WooHoo!!! Great Job....I'm not sure who wrote this but it is so true "No matter how slow you go, you are still lapping everybody on the couch"

    I too have just started to run 5k, It feels great. Keep it up!

    You all are awesome! Thanks for the support. The next 5K in the Chicago area is in December, but I don't know if I can run in the cold! There's a popular 8K in March I might try to go for. You all are awesome!
