renee5d 13 Posted April 30, 2012 I had an amazing NSV this weekend! I ran my first 5k since my surgery 11/14/11 and shaved 4 minutes and 52 seconds off my last 5k time (before surgery)! And...my race T-shirt was a medium instead of a (very tight) Extra large! I even ran it in barefoot shoes! I love feeling so strong and healthy! I've already signed up for four more! If you've never done a 5k...I highly recommend it...most of them have a walkers division, and, like me, I had to walk every so often to catch my breath. But, its a great way to commit yourself to training....like holding your own feet to the fire! 1 BKMama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StephS3 7 Posted April 30, 2012 I ran my FIRST 5k this weekend too!!! Finished with a time of 41.19, which I know by no means is fast, but it is a huge accomplishment for me. Congrats on shaving time off!!! I wish I had done one before to compare. Keep up the great work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
