How did the 5K go?

[mtraverse 327]

It was a great 5k. Did it in 29:03. Probably my best time ever! I got emotional right after the start because I was so happy with myself and how far I have come. Had to put away the tears and keep on running! I had great support with one of best buds there running in the race to. My husband and daughter came out too!  would not have guessed I would do this a year ago!!!

Wow! Congratulations!!! That was a huge goal/milestone for me, to get a sub 30 min 5k and you did it right out of the gate! You rock!!!

That's great! That's one of my goals for maybe around March time to do a 5k seems a big ask but I'm going to do that couch to 5k thing over a few months - did you do that too?

[mtraverse 327]

I kind of did my own version! Started walking a lot. Then added like 30s running then walk 2 minutes and then just increased the running time and decreased the walking time until one day I made it all the way to 30 minutes running, without dying!!! My own pace at my own time. Really has taken me some time to do. Worth the self reward!!!

That's a great time! Congrats! I've run several races since then, including a half marathon, but I will never forget the feeling of complete accomplishment that I felt after completing that first 5K. There is just nothing like it!

couch to 5k is great. I don't think you'll be disappointed!
