Slow your pace down and relax if your all tense and nervous your body will react to it. Slow and steady and you'll do fine.

Congratulations outside is the place to be! Nothing more beautiful than watching the sunrise on your first mile or set with your last. Keep on running!

Yea just do it! If your nervous and have never seen a 5K race go and watch one the are pretty cool.

I saw this post and I think you are doing great and you are a runner based on one of my favorite quotes "If you run you are a runner it doesn't matter how fast or how far. It doesn't matter if today is your first day or if you've been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership…

Hi eveyone I'm 51 been here for about 6 weeks and have lost about 12 lbs. Its a great site with plenty of helpful people on it. It really gives you a look at what and how much you are really eating. Feel free to add me if you'd like I enjoy having people my age as friends,

C25K is a great program to use it works on interval training which helps with stamina. If you don't have a smart phone just use your watch start off by running a min and walking 2 for 30 min. Then increase your time running by 2x the next week and increase your walking time by 30 sec until you get to 3 min walking then…

Yes it's a good pace, but you'll have to check your age bracket when you google it to see how competitive. My son runs xcountry for high school and his mile splits are usually around 5:35 - 5:45 for a 5k.

Hello everyone nice to see so many runners on here. Im a runner too. Been out of it for a while due to a big project at work but back into it now. Love the outdoors I try to get out 3-4 times a week. Feel free to add me for motivation and friendship and a little off the wall stuff
