    Congratulations! I've never been a runner myselft, but I walked my first 5K over the weekend. Enjoyed the experience immensely, and am now inspired to want to get to the point where I can RUN a 5K.

    Great job. It's okay to get emotional. I do every time I beat a goal. Way to go. Your should be proud.

    I got the nike+ app on my iPod touch (iPhone too) and it helps me log my miles, my pace, and calorie burn. I can also set goals and challenges with the app which links to an online site. It's all very motivating and it helped me shave 10 mins off my 3mile time in the last year. I highly recommend it.

    I started the Couch to 5K program a few weeks ago and last Friday I went in to my Cardio Kick class and was asking the trainer a few questions about my legs and breathing and she said "come on" and out we went. With her at my shoulder talking me through it I ran almost 3 miles. (with the few min of walking I did before it I made the whole 3 miles) Then yesterday I did it again. I am about 11 or 12 min mile but I will take it. My legs and back ache but I am going to continue. I loved the jello feeling and I sent a picture to everyone I knew. That is such a great accomplishment. I kept thinking back to high school and walking the track while everyone else was jogging :/ congrats on your victory. Life is good :)

    That is great! One of my NSV is to be able to jog consistantly from one end of my road to the other, half a mile!

    It's not about racing...it's about challenging yourself and succeeding. Don't stop, long distance running is truly a rewarding activity.

    Excellent! Great job. Keep it up & you never know if you might win a race at that pace. I love running but can't right now due to hip pain. So I'm walking a few 5Ks. I took 3rd in my age group in the last one! Have a great evening. Diana

    What an awesome feeling!! I promise it's addictive and I love love the jello legs. If I'm not sore the next day I push harder. You are totally ready for a 5k!

    Cheers!

    AWESOME time for your first 5K! I'm hoping to be under 40 min when I do my first one (which is unlikely LOL)

    Don't pace yourself to anyone. Be your own man. Set your own goals. Reap the beneifits of your own success. If I tried chasing the numbers of others, I would stay disappointed. That having been said, congratulations on the 3 miles. Your pace was nothing to laugh at either. You're doing a fantastic job and with continuing running and conditioning you'll continue to get faster, better, and most importantly, healthier! Good luck!
