Just ran my first 5k!


Recommended Posts

Well, run is really a loose term.  I walked most of it, but I did it.  It was Color Me Rad and I was really surprised at how much fun it was.  I finished at right around 50 minutes.  My legs are angry with me, but I think I'll live.   :nevreness:

 

Not sure if I'll ever do another one, but I'm glad to be able to say I have done one.

Congrats!!!  These look fun.  I'm going to do a Color Run in May.

It's definitely a lot of fun.  I recommend a bandana if you have light hair and bring an spare set of clothes and a towel.

Well done! That's brilliant. I'm going for my first 5k in April, any other advice? :)

 

 

Drink lots of water, wear comfortable clothes, sunscreen (if you are pasty and pale like me) and don't weigh yourself the next day.  Your muscles will be sore and swollen and the scale will lie like a dog.

Honestly, you can just walk the whole thing.  Plenty of people did.  All that matters is that you do it.  And you finish.

I've noticed this after a heavy session at the gym.... I'm good with it :D

 

It's been my goal to run this 5k since I walked it last year, but in all honesty I've only started working towards achieving it since the start of Feb.  I'm feeling good about it though.... I'm pretty sure I can do it now. Bring it on! ;)

Thanks!  I actually have this crazy idea to 31 5ks next year for my 31st birthday.
