1st 5K Race - With Pic (3rd Attempt)

Alright, we'll try again.  Last weekend was my first ever 5K race.  A fellow member of my weight loss support group did it with me (her first too).  This weekend will be my first ever 10K race - The Lucky Leprechaun.  I've got my green bowler hat and kilt ready to go!.  Hopefully, the picture of the two us right before the race posts below.  I think we look like runners!!!

Woohoo! Looking good!

Looking good. I'm doing my first 5k on the 23rd. I'm walking as I have knee replacements and can't run but I'm excited to see what my time will be.

good job.. what was your time?

33:34, but there were 16,195 people in the race so it was a slow run. Most of the time spent was trying to get away from the masses of people while dodging strollers, dogs and walkers.  I placed in the 4,400 range, and about the midway point for my age group.  I'm hoping to make a more impressive showing at the 10K race this weekend where there will be significantly less people.

That is awesome! Congrats!!!

That is SO awesome! I cannot wait to do this some day. I want to do the Color Run, it looks like so much fun. Job well done, and you guys do look like runners.

Me too!  My neighbors did one a few weeks ago.  And, I want to do a mud run - those sound fun as well.  I could never run before - the weight killed my knees.  But now, I actually enjoy it, and I'm slowly working my way up to a half marathon.
