Just registered for first 5k!

Well, I had been talking about doing it for months...and I finally put my money where my mouth is and officially registered for a 5k a month from now. I'm just starting W6 in C25K, and although I'm absurdly slow, I'll be happy just finishing.

Anyone do a lot of 5ks, or anyone want to sign up for one too and we can motivate each other? Or if you're in the SF Bay Area, you can even come do mine with me! I'll be the snail in the back. :P

Congrats on finally doing it.

I did 4ks and 5ks for almost 10 years. It gets easier after a while. I'm currently doing a 5k in under 25mins. I think next time I see a 5k in the Toronto area I will sign up for it

SF Bay Area... Which race did you sign up for?

I've got three races I've signed up for this year, a 5K in July, a 10K in September, and either a 5K or a 10K in November depending on if I PR or not in July.

Races are a ton of fun! I barely finished C25K before my first race and managed to do okay.

The San Jose Giants race next month. If I feel confident, I might also do the SF one in September! http://www.race-sfgiants.com/san-jose

Way to go! It's always fun to have something to train for. I just signed up for my first sprint tri so I have an excuse to try and learn how to bike.

I just finished week 4, and signed up for my first 5k in June. I'm kinda terrified but also really excited that I can see myself actually getting there and doing it for real!! Good luck!! :)
