First 5km Fun Run

:)  This evening I did my first official 5km run ever.  Time was 27mins.  Just wanted to share that with you all!

Next goal....10km!!

Congrats! I just started the couch to 5k program and can't wait until I can run a 5k. You should be very proud

Congrats, excellent time!  You beat me by about 10min; we had one here a couple of weeks ago :)

Thank you!  I also just took up running about 3 months ago litebright and I too was hanging out for my first real run.  It is so much fun running with a big group of people!  Completely different to running alone in the park.  

Well done on completely your 5km cyth!  Was that your first?  Is the pic of you when you are reaching the finish line??

That is a great time for your first 5K. Only 3 months of running and wow, look what you did. Awesome.  Keep up the great work and training.  Maybe a 1/2 marathon is in your future.  In preparation for your 10K, slowly increase your mileage 1 day of week until you reach your goal and jog or run a shorter distance 2 other days a week to keep loose.  Good luck in your preparations and once again, great 5k

Great job!  I am doing a 10k next weekend and that will be my longest distance for a race.  I've done 5k and 8k races in the past year.

good luck on your 10K

Thanks mtv.  A half marathon is definitely in my thoughts.  I read on your profile that you have already done a few.  When did you take up running?

Hope your 10k run goes well, laschndr!  :)  Let us know how you go!
