EvillePanda Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 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. Not sure if I'll ever do another one, but I'm glad to be able to say I have done one. 3 Quote "I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death that causes total obliteration.

EvillePanda Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 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.

Guzzi Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Well done! That's brilliant. I'm going for my first 5k in April, any other advice? Quote Make Life Rue The Day Turning back the clock Recipe book 14 Life is far too short to take seriously Link to comment

EvillePanda Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 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. Quote "I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death that causes total obliteration. I will face my fear.

EvillePanda Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Honestly, you can just walk the whole thing. Plenty of people did. All that matters is that you do it. And you finish. 1 Quote "I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death that causes total obliteration. I will face my fear.

Guzzi Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Your muscles will be sore and swollen and the scale will lie like a dog.I've noticed this after a heavy session at the gym.... I'm good with it 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! 2 Quote Make Life Rue The Day Turning back the clock Recipe book 14 Life is far too short to take seriously Link to comment
