And I'm proud to report that not only did I have what is for me a great time (47:33) but I was the top placing female!!

I finished 12th overall out of 72 racers.

I've posted the long - very long and probably boring - race report on my blog.

That's is QUITE impressive! Way to go!

Wow. That is fast. I have just hit 4 miles in 40 minutes.

And that was running like the police were chasing me!

Fantastic you're even placing well! Maybe a 1/2 marathon in the future for you?

I did one in May

Yay for you!
You are inspiring!

Congrats! That's so great!! Way to go

That is incredible!! How inspiring!!

Congrats!!!

That's awesome, Jen! How long have you been running, if you don't mind me asking? I'm seriously impressed by your time!

Thanks everyone!

Nienna, I started running on the treadmill in November 2010. I weighed 289 pounds.

I ran my first mile straight outside in May of 2011. It took me just over 16 minutes.

Since then I've been steadily increasing my running and find myself where I am now!

Thats awesome! my 5k time is higher than your 10k time of course I am still mostly walking with some light jogging drills. I'll get there someday!
