Default Just signed up for my first 5K.....

Well, it's official, I've apparently lost my mind. I just finished online registration for my very first 5K. o_O It's being held on June 16.

Pretty ridiculous of me, considering that I haven't even finished Couch to 5K yet. I think my success at running 20 minutes straight yesterday (Week 5, Day 3) scrambled my brains a bit.

I'm not deluding myself into thinking I'll place or anything. I'll just be thrilled to even finish.

You are awesome!! I wish I was brave enough to sign up for a race, I just can't commit myself to. But reading your post and some others here makes me want to woman up and do it!

I'm starting W9D1 today and I'm both excited and nervous, can't even believe I made it this far!

Thanks for posting about your race today, it made me happy to read!

Congratulations!--You can do a 5K- If you have to walk a ways that's just fine. The important thing is you're doing it.

Snoofie, you will have so much fun at your 5K. I have done 3 now and I still can't run them all the way through and that's okay. It's so fun to run through the finish line!

Elvis, you've got to get your butt signed up for a race. I wish you were out here in Cali, I would totally do it with you!

Last weekend we did the Color Run! Check the pics here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...1&l=946ce869c5

Congrats! Signing up for a 5K is what started this whole weight loss thing for me. Mine is only in September (I also have to Color Run in August) but I'm still very far from being able to run 5K. I'll get there though and you will too!

That's wonderful!!! Races are sooooooo much fun, you're gonna get addicted!! The best thing about doing your first race at any distance is that as long as you finish, you're GUARANTEED a Personal Record! I know you can do it
