my first 5k

I walked my first 5k today. I was proud of myself. I didn't finish last and my time was 50 minutes and 40 seconds. Not bad for 3.1 miles! Can't wait to do another one!!

not bad at all, job well done

That's awesome

When I walked my first two-mile, my goal also was to not come in last. There were three people behind me. The second time, there were a few more.

Part of my decision to have surgery is that I just can't keep up with my friends. I thought I did well on the second walk (38 minutes) but when I saw the race photos, I was disappointed. I was red, droopy, and soaked. My friend who did it with me looked like she just got up from a chair.

If I'm able, I'll do it again this fall. I don't know when I'll have surgery, so I may not be able. I'm hoping next year I can RUN it!

I really wish I could run but I've had knee replacements and jogging is a big no no.

Congrats on your first...and from the sounds of it, not your last, 5K!! Forget the time, the goal is to finish and you did wich is awesome!

 

Best,

Congrats on your  first 5 k. I too signed up to walk a 5 k never thought I would be  entertaining the idea of something like that.   It is in  later part of April and  I will be walking with friends  back in Missouri  and so excited to be  getting healthy.

God Speed and stay the course.
