My first 5k ( running the whole way)!

[irishtwins1112]

My first 5k(running) is in two weeks! I have slowly worked my way up and can fairly easily run 2 miles at a 14 minute per mile pace without stopping. I have been doing 1-1.5 miles once or twice during the week and then a tad longer on Saturdays (2 miles yesterday). Next Saturday is 2.5 and the next one is the 5k. It is amazing how good it feels when you push past your own mental limitations!

It is a nice feeling when you know the work you are doing is resulting in something. Good luck with your race in a few weeks. And as you know, you will do a lot better because you will be running with a lot of others.

I agree 100%. Plus, they are a great way to prep yourself and keep yourself going...motivational wise.
Though where I am, 5k races are harder and harder to come by in the summer mos...I think they are addicting.

Irishtwins, are you signed up for the Disney races in January? I hope so.
