AW: my 5k

Just Jen · November 2009

I've been doing the Couch to 5k program for *much* longer than you're supposed to (it's officially 9 weeks, and I started in like June). But yesterday I finally did one! My time was 35:24, which was so much faster than I expected that I actually didn't beleive I ran the correct course. I made FI drive the route with me afterwards to make sure I did the full 3.1 rather than the 2-mile "walkers" course.I know people on here do marathons and such, and this is such a minor accomplishment in comparison, but it's something I've been working toward for awhile.

wow that's awesome. I can't even walk a 5k, probably. Good for you!

I actually asked DH today if he's sign up for a 5k with me and he says, "Maybe in a year. I don't want to embarrass myself." A year?! You really think it is going to take a year to train for a 3 mile run? LOL. He already runs on the treadmill 2+ miles a day. He's like, "I guess you're right. Not everyone who runs those things are super fit." I don't think I've ever seen someone running a race and thought to myself, "Wow, they are slow!" I'm thinking, "Wow, I should be out there doing that too. Hats off!"
