sumdawgtwigg Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 My time was 31:04, not as good as I had hoped for but I'm still really pleased. I ran the entire way and never even had the desire or need to walk. I hope the second one I can get under 30:00. I feel really accomplished, more so then I have in a long time.

sumdawgtwigg Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Nice work, dawg! You'll smash that 30 minute barrier next time for sure.w00t! Thanks, lachy! It really motivates me when people say things like that. I feel like I have to do it or I'm letting someone down. So, next time, def under 30 mins! My next race is two weeks away, plenty of time to prepare.

sumdawgtwigg Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Congrats! I'm doing my first ever 5K walk on Sunday. That's a walk, not a run, though! I'm doing it with hubby and two small kids, so jogging/running, even assuming I was fit enough, wouldn't really be very family-friendly.Its a big step up for me compared to my previous attitude of "Can I pay money to *not* go exercise?" *lol*Good luck on your first! There were lots of walkers at the one I went to. Also, lots of people out there with their children.

Jaswandi Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 That really is great! I think 31 min is great timing on your first 5k! I did my first last month and my timing was 39 min!! I was one of the last ones, but I was still proud that I ran/jogged the whole way! You will definitely beat 30 min on the next one, have you signed up for it?

I don't see how you were last! There were people coming in after 50 mins in the one I went too. Thank you for the vote of confidence. I'm signed up for my next one on June 9th. Plenty of time to train to break 30 mins. Are you doing another one anytime soon?
