High on endorphins!!

This morning I had to decide if i wanted to do gym cardio or do an outdoor run - I have a 5k on on the weekend so I decided to do the outdoor run.

My best 5k time has been 35 minutes, that was a couple of weeks ago.. this morning I timed my 5k and I did it in 30 MINUTES AND 30 SECONDS!!!!!!!!!! I am SO OVER THE MOON!

I got my 5k to 30 minutes!! I never thought I'd see that!! YAY!!!

Huge NSV for me, massive!!!! :D

    I did thr c25k a while ago (I'm talking years) and it's great for endurance building and for keeping your run on - so keep at it is my advice :p Don't worry about speed at the moment. :D

    Doing the c25k was one of the best decisions I've ever made, btw. From a previous anti-runner.

    That's awesome! Good job. My 5k's are at about 44 minutes. I'm still working on my endurance but would love to see my time go down to 30....or at least 40, haha!!

    That is awesome! You'll probably go sub 30 minutes on your race then b/c of the competition!

    AMAZING!! My goal on my last 5k two weeks ago was to run the entire thing, which I DID! But it was SUPER hilly, so my time was 39. I have another one coming up on Tday, but I think that'll be more relaxed and social since I'm running with a friend who isn't really a runner. And I did a Spartan race on Saturday, so I'm pretty beat!

    I'd LOVE to get a 5k time of 30!!

    That's great! I have my first 5K coming up in about 3 weeks and don't think I am anywhere near ready. IF I am able to run the whole thing it'll probably take a while which I am ok with as long as I run the whole thing.

    Congrats on your time and good luck this weekend!!

    I dunno about that - it's a hot early summer here.... and the 5k is being done in a santa suit!! hahaha (everyone's doing it in a santa suit, not just me :p) But I'd still LOVE for it to be under 30!!! :D

    Congratulations, Nikki582! You are awesome. I am excited for you. I'm playing w/the idea of training for a breast cancer walk.
