    1st ever 5K was 27:43....fast pace for me as all training runs were in 9:40/Mile range. You will run faster in a group/race atmosphere.....but try to run your own race and enjoy it!! Congrats!!!

    It was a while back, but I wanna say it was somewhere around 34 minutes? I haven't run a 5k in a while (I've been focusing on half marathons and 10 milers, but gonna be getting back to shorter distances for a while over the summer), so I assume my time would be a lot better now, but 34 minutes ain't bad for my first time!!

    52 minutes! But I was walking with friends. After 6 weeks of C25K it was 39:16 and my goal was to be under 45min. Still working towards under 30minutes.

    I just did my first one last weekend surpassed my best training time by coming in at 28:25. I still have no idea how I did that! When I run at lunch, I generally average around 33 minutes (and I blame that on these two back to back long hills, which I have a love/hate relationship with :)), so if you are averaging 30 minutes, I bet you find come race time, when you're out on the course, the excitement, comraderie and adrenaline will all give you a bit of a boost! Good luck! Post again and let us know how you did!

    You are well on your way to blowing us all out of the water so don't be nervous you will be FANTASTIC! My first 5k I'm also a new(er) runner was 32:38. And your goal was my EXACT goal also...... I didn't want to walk any of it...well till I was actually running it then I was like that was stupid goal..I wanna walk. ;) You know how the mind plays tricks on us. I didn't walk and I did finish. yay! Update us please when you have your race time. :)
