I Did It! First 5K!
 

I ran my first 5K this morning with an unofficial time of 46:30!

I ran the first mile, did run/walk intervals the second mile, and ran
the third mile. I've only completed W4 of C25K (over a period of 6 weeks) with no previous running experience at all.

It was pretty freakin' amazing! I think it was the biggest accomplishment of my life. I feel like I've slain a dragon or something!

:cloud9:

WOO HOO!! Way to go!!!

I hope to follow in your footsteps soon :) Looking at signing up for one in the fall - no time before then.

Congratulations!!

I did my first one 13 years ago at 43 and haven't stopped...I have slowed down though!!

keep 'em up!

Good job! That is inspiring to me as I just started running last week & am shooting to do a 5k run in Oct.

Woohooo!!!!

:woohoo: sounds like you had fun and that's what counts...

congratulations!

Yeah.............. good for you!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is really amazing! I have a 5k in August and I would love to have that kind of time.. I'm not much of a good runner, but I'm working on it. Definitely inspiring of you to share. :)

Any tips or advice?

I signed up for my first in September. I am so excited and scared. It is because of Posts like YOURS that I finally signed up. I want to feel like I SLAINED a DRAGON! Awesome job!!!

To go from not running at all to finishing a 5k is a great accomplishment - especially in such a short span of time! congrats:D
