I completed my first 5k this morning with a time of 36:31. My goal was 36:00 so I'm very happy with my time! I finished C25k in early May and have been running a few times a week to keep up with it. I'm so proud of myself. I never thought I would be able to do this at 190 lbs. I can't wait to see how much faster I can run it with another 20lbs gone!

    Awesome! I'm doing C25K also and have my first 5K in 2 weeks and have a similar time goal to yours (great job!) but my real goal is just to keep running throughout the whole thing.

    Congrats on completing your first 5K..

    My first will be the local Color Run in mid July, but I am walking it...no desire to run. Looking to complete it in less than an hour walking, which takes into account joint and heel issues.

    I hear once you fiinish your first one, you have a taste for more. Keep up the great work!!

    OMG! Well done! I remember doing a 5k WALK a few years back and it was really hard just walking! But running it? That's simply amazing!
