5K

I have wanted to complete a 5k for years! Yesterday I started the couch to 5k with my hubby. He needs to lose about 25-30 pounds. The local Education Foundation is doing a 5K On March 17. So it is my goal to complete that 5K. It will probably be half walking and half jogging. I figure this will be a starting point and I can improve from there. My goal is simple to complete it.

I too want to do my first 5k in March, I am hoping to compete against my brother in NY Memorial day weekend and to BEAT him!
I am training on my treadmill, run, walk, run walk.
I wish you luck also!

Good luck to you too!

Yes, Yes, Yes ----- you can do this!

Have 2 goals
1.  finish
2.  don't finish last (although someone has to be last)

I can't wait to hear all about your race in a few weeks (I will be recovering from my Tummy Tuck when you run)

 
Go for it! I have done several now snd can tell you it is a fantadtic sense of achievement. Decide what you hope to achieve, make it realistic and then go for it!

I'm a competitive sort and so set myself a time goal and the goal of finishing before all my friends apart from the elite runners. And I achieved it! I think a goal is good, whether it be a time or just, as Kath says, to complete the run.

Thanks everyone! I will tell you all about it. I am so excited:) It is great time for my hubby and I.

 I will be running though the Lincoln Tunnel in the First Responders Race in March! It will be my first 5k, and I am SO excited about it. I adore the C25k, it has really pushed me and got me moving faster then I ever thought I could. I did my best time tonight, getting in my 5k in 42 mins! My goal is to get it to around 35 mins before the race (although I registered as an over 35 minute runner just in case LOL). 

Good luck in your race!
