Hi Everybody...First of all, I'm relatively new to the forum, so "hi". But the real reason for my post: I just ran my first 5k yesterday evening...33:27. I know its slow, but I was so excited about my time, especially since I've only been running since January I just wanted to share my news, since I love reading everyone else's accomplishments.

That's really awesome--especially since you are so new! I guarantee that if you keep with it you will blow that PR out of the water--you'll almost certainly see a sub-30 5k!

| Congrats! Well done! No worries on the speed thing...granted we have some awesome elites here in the RA community, but all are welcome here. They let me hang around and I haven't been able to string together a good week in months. But, well done! |

| Welcome to the Forum Becky and CONGRATS on your 5k!!! Like others have asked, have you signed up for another race yet? |

| Wow...thanks for all the support! I haven't signed up for another race yet, but I am definitely looking for one. I didn't realize how much I would like the actual racing. But I was so wrong...it was so much fun! I can't wait for the next one!! |
