I ran my first 5K. I would never ever have believed it. C25K is a miracle for me. My finish time was 30 minutes 34 seconds. Don't know if that's good or what, but I DID IT! And, my local hospice, that took great care of my Mom in her final days, benefitted too. :happy:

Way to go! I'm trying to find one to run soon. Just having a hard time finding one that benefits a charity that intrigues me.0

There are loads of them out there. I am so astounded that I actually did it. I was running at the back of the pack, but slow and steady and finished no problem. It's kinda cool to have done it.0

Not to hijack your post, but I completed my first 5K this morning. Time was 33.19 - not bad for an old fart like me (48) who never thought she could run! I thought I was gonna die at one point, but ran the whole way. There were lots of people walking, many of whom made it in before me, lol.
It was a wonderful experience - as I waited to start, I was actually fighting back tears, as I NEVER thought I'd be doing something like this. :happy:0 -
You guys rock! WTG!:drinker:0

This is very inspiring to me. My first 5k is in 5 weeks on Mother's Day for Y-Me. While I don't have anyone close to me who has died from breast cancer, it was an opportunity for me to raise money for a great charity and also set a goal for myself which would push me more than anything else has pushed me before. It is getting me out of my comfort zone.0

GREAT JOB!!! I just did week 2 day 2 and I"m thinking about settting up a 5k in Aug / Sept sometime. Thank you for the inspiration, I hope I can do as great as you did!0

I just started yesterday, Day 1. I cannot see myself running a 5k at this point but I sure hope I can. There are so many good stories on here. I hope I can hang in and do this!0
