I just walked my first 5K!!!!!!

  • I am so proud of myself. I didn't do it all that fast, 68 minutes, but that's my goal...to keep getting faster at it. I thought I was going to die, but now that I'm done I FEEL GREAT!!!! Yay for NSV's!!!
  • Congrats, that is something you should be proud of I know I am doing one at the end of this month and am scared to death that I will not make it. Sharing your story makes me and Im sure alot of other people feel much better thank you. Stay Strong and keep up the great work

  • Way to go!!!

    I walked my first one a few years ago, and I was so proud of myself.. sadly I gave up on myself back then, and never got that far last year after my last baby before I gave up again. Tonight, I'm going to the park with the nicest path.. where I did my first 5K.. tonight I'm going to do 1/3 of it
  • That is so awesome! I'm planning to do one next year hopefully. But that is a huge and wonderful accomplishment!
  • awesome job ..
  • That's so cool! Congratulations!

    I finally made my three miles last week! (I also learned that the treadmill turns off on its own at the Y at 60 minutes) I have also learned good shoes are worth it!

    Again: HIGH FIVE!!!!
  • congrats, definitely something to be proud about!!
  • Great! Walking is such an awesome activity! It helps relieve stress, gives you time to meditate, allows you to experience nature and the outdoors, builds both muscle and cardiovascular endurance, and improves your mood. There are absolutely no negatives with walking! It also takes no special equipment.

    The more you walk the easier it becomes. Walking helps you lose weight and as you lose weight walking becomes easier

    I'm just getting home from a nice long walk myself and feel great!
  • Thank you everyone!!

    Matt: I agree! I love to be out in nature!

    Randi: You are going to kick that 5k's butt!!

    ByTheNumbers: congrats to you as well! Doesn't it make you feel great?!?!
  • That is awesome!
  • Way To Go!!!
