30 minutes on the nose. YAHOO! :) This is the first time EVER for me properly clock my run. Mine was outside. The weather is gray and cool which is actually PERFECT for me! Thanks for posting this idea. I loved doing this and it is something I will remember for many years since it was my gift to myself for Mother's Day!

You have done so well! You are going to be "living" with those memories for a long time! :)

No time to report for me - a leisurely 5K walking around town :)

Miles are miles! Us old folks can't run all the time ;)

Not sure if it was 5k, I ran the local school track for 30 minutes...

It's cool and damp here not a very nice day, windy too...

So happy to see you here Ilene! :)

Ugh. 61:39. Worst time EVER. I probably should have taken a break since I ran yesterday, and we had brunch a few hours before, but you live and learn I guess.

No kiddo...the worst time...would have been doing nothing! :)

Okay, I didn't do 5k, I did 5 miles. It was quite a jump form 3 miles to 5, but I did it. I completed in 1 hour 4 min, average 12.8 min/mile. That is pretty good. I am proud of myself. My butt hurts though.:cool:

Gary- Gotta tell you again. I love those puppy dogs of yours.

Great time for you Mindy! Your butt hurts 'cause there is a crack in it ;) I love my puppy dogs too...but I love them more when I can find my shoes!

My un-official time was 32:00, but that time was achieved while running with someone who also happens to be a personal trainer. Trust me--I could not replicate that time even if I ran while someone was holding a pair of gorgeous $500 pumps in front of me the whole way. :running: The only way I even made that time was because I felt bad for making the poor guy run so slowly, after he said I could tag along! So yeah, not the most representative result time ever achieved. :dizzy:

I ran to the gym this morning (so I could go to a class) and I got a pretty good time--for me at least--for the 10K: 1:07:30. (I won't mention the fact that two women going wayyy faster than me passed me around 6K, while we were going up a hill. :lol: ) So that makes my 5K time about 33:45, which is my new best time. Yay!

Thanks, EZ! These 5Ks are proving a great motivator, especially since I don't always want to run. :carrot:

You are an inspiration to many here kiddo...we THANK-YOU!! :)
