Today I finished 5 miles in 59:52! Not only was that the furthest I've ever run, but to keep under a 12:00/mi pace for a longer-distance run is great for me! I know that's not as fast as a lot of people run, but I figure a lot of people can't do what I did today, so I feel pretty good about it! Yay!!

    First off, you did a great job. That is a great time and a great run.

    I remember having to work hard to run 2 miles during my first few months of running. So I know how hard it is to 5 miles.:wink:

    There is a poster in my gym. It reads "It doesn't matter how slow you go as long as you don't stop"! You didn't stop and you did a great job! I couldn't do what you did! Well done!

    You are right! I look back to starting C25k and even the minute-runs were SO hard!! I think, "who the hell was that person???" and that was just about 6 months ago! Thanks for the kind words all!

    "No matter how slow you go, you are still lapping everybody on the couch."

    But seriously, that's a great run! Congrats to you. Wonderful to see hard work pay off.

    That's brilliant!!!! So satisfying getting to beat your PB's.... Once you have done it once, you'll do it every week after that.... Well done and enjoy! :)

    Congrats on the new PR. Don't worry about speed. The wall paper on my cell phone says no matter how slow you go, you're still lapping people on the couch.

    Keeping sub 12 is a great pace. Congrats again. Keep up the good work.

    You RAN for 5 miles!
    You RAN for almost an hour straight!

    Be proud, most people cannot do either one! :bigsmile:
