    ty!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought I was going to come in at an hour...time doesn't pass as fast, but it also beat my trial times of 47-50 minutes :D I really enjoyed myself (met some interesting people) and plan on doing more of them this summer!!!!!!!! I figured my time will improve as i get stronger and my endurance builds up!!!!!

    This is a fab NSV. A 5k is nothing to sneeze at (or in my case wheeze at). And beating your trial times is even better.

    That's great!!! There was a 5K in my town a few weeks ago and I kind of did my own around my apartment complex to see how long it'd take me to do it and how I felt during & after...I almost died, lol...needless to say, I didn't do the actualy 5k in town that week. Maybe one day I'll be able to do it!! I was so red and breathing hard, people probably would have thought I was going ot pass out! I have started C25K though, I did week 1/day 2 yesterday!!

    Congrats. I'm on week 5 of C25K and finding it so hard but am determined to do it and, when I do, I fully intend to shout it from the rooftops too.

    WELL DONE!
