I ran a 5k now im addicted (Read 1003 times)

haha ya i dont understand how millions of people decided houston is a good place to settle just going though it to the airport made me queezy. although i will be on the beach... and after a cple decades of new england winters itl be a welcome change... i can run outside in january without freezing to death!

The same thing happened to me with a 10K. I've been training for a few months now and am signed up to do my first Half-marathon in January at Rock N' Roll Phoenix. Can't wait! Just found this site and have to say I am impressed. Look forward to updating my running log daily and frequenting the forums.

I still remember my first 5k, though it was more than 10 years ago. It was in Oneonta NY and seemingly all steep hills. After I finished, I just sat right down on the ground and panted like a dog! But you have to admit, as an addiction it is not bad for your health and somewhat cheaper than smoking a pack a day, or at least it could be if you don't buy every gadget on earth. (I trained for my first marathon using the Kellogg's Olympic watch that I got from sending in the boxtops from total.)
