UCF 5 Miler
I am so excited because I ran the UCF 5 miler this morning and beat my goal by a few minutes. I finished it in 41:37! (8:18 min miles)
Just wanted to share because when I started running I couldn't run 3 miles without walking and now I am able to run 5 miles!
I remember a post about some of the girls training for a 5K so good luck and hopefully this helps with motivation!

Re: UCF 5 Miler
Awesome, that time is very good! That is a wonderful accomplishment.
What is your training schedule like? DH and I are training for the Disney half marathon in January and we're only up to 4 mile runs right now.
I run three times a week on a treadmill a minimum of of a 5k. Every couple weeks I increase my constant speed and the last half mile I always up it about 0.5 mph so I can get myself used to picking it up at the end of the race. I don't run outside as often as I should. Anytime I do run outside I do it early in the morning because I notice the heat of the afternoon really slows me down. Most of the runs start at 7:30 anyways.
I notice I run faster in the races probably because of adrenaline.
Good luck with the half marathon! That is great I can't wait to get to that level!
that is awesome! I am training for a 5K... right now i am still walk/running, but hope to get to running 5K straight by the beginning of Dec. That is awesome - you made great time!!! how long have you been running?
I have been running on a regular basis for about two years and have been doing 5k's for about 5 (even if I was walking them).
As far as the reindeer run I say sign up for because it will be motiviation plus you can walk the whole thing if you aren't ready to run it and it's not a big deal. You will feel great even if you only walk it plus you get a shirt
I am signing up for the Turkey Trot which is a really fun run on Thanksgiving morning. They don't give you the chip to clock your time because it isn't as serious of a 5k. That is a great one for anyone who is just starting. I walked it with my mom one year. There are runners of all different levels plus you feel great before you eat all that food.
I did it! I'm all signed up for the Reindeer Run on 12/13. I'm starting the C25K tomorrow morning. I don't know why, but I am SOOOO excited!!! I think I just feel motivated to have a goal/plan. Of course I haven't even attempted to run yet, but who cares...I'm still pumped!
