Getting back into walking/running and I have questions!

Well, I've got my first 5K under my belt. :king:

Not only am I not dead, I'm really proud that I ran the whole first mile without stopping. In fact, I ran a lot more of it than I expected to; at one point, I tried to slow down to a walk, but my feet wouldn't let me, they still wanted to run. :lol: I'd guess that I ran at least 2 full miles of it, maybe a tiny bit more? Considering that I only got halfway through the C25K program, I feel pretty good about that. Also, running a course was so much better than just running a loop.

Official time was 37:32, which put me right in the middle of my age group.

Yay!! Good job! Isn't it an awesome feeling when you finish your first race?

Way to go!! That is a great time! :sohappy: Sounds like it went better than expected.

It is! I think I might be hooked...:lookaroun

Thanks!! It sure did, probably because I had pretty low expectations. :lol:

Thanks so much --I don't aspire to run a marathon, but maybe someday I'll make a goal to move up to 10Ks. Or a certain 10-miler...maybe even a Disney half. But that's a long way off. After a few 5ks, of course.


All I know is, I'm leaving for WDW on Sunday, and all I've got out to pack so far are my underwear (TMI) and running gear!! :ROFLOL:
