I have successfully completed my first 5k! It felt great. I highly recommend run or dye for your first one. My dad and I had so much fun and you can go at your own pace.

Congrats! It is a fantastic feeling, huh?! I never dreamed I'd ever have any desire to run but now that I've been running some 5K races, I am addicted to running! I LOVE it! Nothing better than a good run!

Congratulations! I signed up for a 5K in September and I'm so excited. I will probably walk -- 52, arthritis, etc. -- but hey, I'm doing it. I am not afraid to be out in the world anymore -- I feel like I belong in the community of exercisers. Now, can some one tell me who this is writing this? I honestly cannot believe it. I was not athletically inclined before and now I wake up planning exercise instead of planning food. Yippee!

@@Bandista, think about it like this though...even if you walk the entire 5K, you will be a winner because you will have beaten all of those people who are still at home on the couch, unwilling to even attempt a 5K :)

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
