First 5k after graduation

[lindar383]

Just ran my first 5k today, it took me 42.35mins is that good for the first time. Thats my starting point I suppose and I do feel good for doing it.

Hi Linda. That's fantastic, well done you hope you are feeling suitably proud!

[jamsammich Graduate]

Woohoo! Go you! 😊 Did you feel strange without Laura ?

Yea a bit but I used runkeeper and it updates you every 5 mins, its quite cool

[jamsammich Graduate in reply to lindar383]

Is it easy to navigate? I may get it if it is, I'm on w9r1 tomorrow morning 😊

[lindar383 Graduate in reply to jamsammich]

Megga! 42.35 is ACE! Im really happy to get round in 50! Think about all those times you didn't run!!!

[LyndaM Graduate]

Well done. A perfectly respectable time and 5 whole k. Amazing !

Congrats on the achievement - that's a good time for your first 5K. I did my first one a few weeks ago in a similar time and last night managed to finish one in 35.39 so your times will improve if that's what you want to achieve. Otherwise just the sense of achievement in completing the distance is enough for many on here and is something to be proud of.

Thats very encouraging as I do want to improve my time but very happy at the moment I know I can do it. Will build up slowly that way I should enjoy the challenge
