    Have fun! My wife and I ran our first ever 5k a few weeks back. We both finished! That was our goal. We really enjoyed it.

    Way to go! My first isn't until October, but I'll be happy if I get that time!

    Congratulations! Who cares if it was a small town 5K, you ran a PR! It would have been a PR if there were 10,000 more people running. You did great!

    Well done and congrats.
    Coincidentally I ran my first today as well.
    Was a good day for all I'd say.
    Happy for you :smile: :drinker:
