First 5k (Read 516 times)

rkaschak view log posted: 5/18/2007 at 2:07 PM 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. Becky

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! k Kirsten '07: 1324.5 mi '08: 1561 mi ... • Ladies Locker Room • .: 2009 Goals :. • Run 1750 miles • 2 marathons (May - Bayshore, Fall - ?) • PRs: 5k ~ 15k ~ 25k? ~ HM ~ 26.2 • 1st trail relay (North Country)

RunningNorm posted: 5/18/2007 at 2:15 PM 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! If you go as far as you can see, you will then see enough to go even farther. - John Wooden

Your toughness is made up of equal parts persistence and experience.
