AW: Ran my first 5K race!

Mrs. TLC

I just got back from the OUC 5K with a finish time of under 35 minutes! today's race finishes out my couch to 5k program :-)

 

Anyone going to be at the reindeer run in maitland next sat?

Mrs.DMC

Good for you. I wish I was that motivated.

Yayyy! That's so exciting! I was wondering how C25K was going for you. DH and I just started week seven today, so we're getting there, but it's still pretty challenging. I think we're going to practice for a couple more months before we do any races, but I'm hoping maybe by springtime we can enter something. Keep us posted if you're running anything in the springtime.

Congratulations!

Congratulations! That's awesome! I am doing the maitland race next weekend. I am afraid to say that I am really sucking, but I am going to do it anyway! I am only able to run about a half a mile to a mile without stopping (which is way better then I could have done when I started, but I won't be able to run the whole thing without stopping like I had hoped). I am really excited about it though and still enjoying my runs. I think my problem was that I ran the first 4 weeks of C25K on a treadmill and running on the ground is so very different. I've done all my runs on the ground since week 4 and now I am on week 8 and just feel really behind. But I'm hanging in there! Hearing about your race today is a motivator!

Mrs. TLC

don't worry about walking a little bit... i walked a bit after mile one and again after mile two and i still made it in under 35 min! i even skipped all of week 8 b/c it was during thanksgiving week and i still made it! you can do it!
