Congrat!!! I just finished a 5 k walk today my time wasn't exactly where I wanted it to be. Last year I did the walk in 52 mins this year 54 mins and I had music. I know it had to do with the extra weight I'm carry this year. But to think next year will be different I'm just so excited!! I think I'm gonna do walks next year then the following year I'm gonna run it out.

Congrats! Thats awesome....

I think going from a 5k to a full marathon is going to be very rough in less then a year.. I started running in april 10 one mile.. first 5k was in 07/10... 10k in sept 10 ... HALF marathon in Nov 10.. I had a BAD achilles Tendon Strain, and the doctor state i was because of adding too many miles too quick and that I didnt give my body time to adjust to a mileage before moving up..

My advice is just watch yourself.. Dont shot out of the gate too fast and hurt yourself.. Pace yourself and you will get there soon! I am hoping to get to a full marathon too soon..
