Ran my first 5k!
I ran my first 5k on Saturday! In costume, too! I wasn't thrilled with my time -- ran it in 32 min, but in my practice runs on the same course I'd done it in just under 30 min. But I'm still happy I did it!

First 5k -- knowing when you're ready?
I've been running mainly on the treadmill and regularly do the 5k distance (3.11 miles) with a 1% incline. I tried running outside for awhile a few months back, but my knee/ankle started bugging me after a few weeks, so I took a break then went back to the shock-absorbing safety of the padded treadmill. So, really, my…

SF area bike trails?
I just got a bike, haven't ridden one in about 8 years, so I'm a little rusty and not at all confident. Biking on roads with cars makes me super nervous right now - I know I'll build up my confidence over time, but do any Bay area MFPers know good trails that are bike friendly? Preferably where joggers won't glare at me…

On the right track?
Hi, I've been on here for about a week, and I just want to make sure I'm on the right track... I'm working out 5x/week for 30-45 min, usually just on the elliptical, and I'm keeping right around my 1200 calorie goal if not slightly below. So far I'm not noticing anything -- I was hoping working out would start feeling…
