And holy *@*#, I have never been so PUMPED about anything! I thought halfway through I wasn't going to make it... I've never ran this far in my life =)

I just had to let somebody know. I just can't believe I actually did it!

Ahhh, I know it's not a fast time or anything, but I am still proud that I at least made it =)

Next time, I'm gonna shoot for <35. I can do it.

Depending on how bad my legs hurt in the next week. I know they're gonna... so, I guess as soon as I can get back to the gym =)

Last time I ran, I only made it like 1.2 miles or something, no slope, and only lasted like 20 minutes. My legs are getting stronger every week though, and they're mostly the reason I have trouble running.

Isn't the feeling awesome! I wish Bodyspace had a way to track cardio goals since it's just as big a motivator as lifting!

definately keep everyone updated on your next attempt!

good job!

excellent work dude!

do some running outside too, i know a few guys who put in an extra km or so if they see a hot girl, staring at their ass seems to keep the mind off the pain, who knew?

Good job, it's a great feeling when you get that 5k time below 20 minutes. Keep up the work and you'll get there!

I thuoght there would be a race report coming up so I'm kind of bummed that all we got was a phone shot of a treadmill LCD. .

Nevertheless if this was the first time you actually managed to run for 5 km, 3.1 miles with no break, congrats. I hope you stick with it, running can be very addictive.

I just had my second 10K race this morning and it was a blast! I ran a PR of 40:55 and felt awesome about it even thuogh I secretly hoped to break 40 minutes. My 5K split was 19:37 which is only 8 seconds slower than my 5K PR but I fell apart after the half way point and could not keep the pace towards the end.

As for breaking 20 minutes on a 5K..... I sure hope I can do better than that.

killer dude. Running and doing half marathons is what helped me drop from 273 to 220 from august of last year to march 15th this year. Congratulations again dude.
