Ran my first 5K yesterday!
Yesterday morning I ran my first 5K.. the Lt. Dan 5K in Beaufort for wounded warriors. My goal was to run the whole thing without stopping to walk and I did it ! Finished in 35 min 39 sec ! What a rush ! This was a personal victory for me. Having been overweight my entire life, I couldn't run the mile back in high school. I always walked it. I felt such a sense of accomplishment yesterday ! I was on a high the rest of the day. Now I can't wait to do it again and beat my time !

That's awesome, Bren! Congrats! Running my first the end of October. I'm currently doing Couch to 5K. Today I finshed week 5, run 3 -- 20 minutes run without any walking in between. That was a big deal for me! I can totally see the progress from week 1. My goal is the same as yours - no walking, but giving myself more time than 35.39. Not sure I'll be there. ;) So happy for you... -Oh, and I adore Beaufort. I was there last year for a day and totaly enjoyed myself. :) margaret
Congratulations on a great accomplishment!
