Hello all. So I completed my very first 5k race today and what a blast. The event itself was well-run and the vendors, food and music were terrific!

Best of all I finished in 23:20!! I am still shocked, but super-happy! The distance is fun, and nice to know that it's short, which makes sprinting a bit ok. All in all, a good time. I'll do it again!

Congrats!  Great time!  I'm just happy when I can manage under 30 minutes!  Not surprising with all your training!  Awesome job!  Looking forward to jogging again post-tummy tuck/hernia repairs...this coming week I think!

I think I waited 8 weeks before running again post-panni. 4 weeks before spinning (did it with my binder on LOL).

GREAT job! I want to do a 5K in the spring but to be able to do it in that time would be incredible!

Congrats on completing the 5K and with a fantastic time to boot!
