I had a lot of people tell me that I was crazy or that it really wasn't much of an accomplishment and I just shrugged them off. I love hearing people say they are going to run their first 5K, or their first 10K or whatever. It makes me happy to see these people out training for it, because I was there once too. Any runner out there deserves support and good cheer. :-) .-= Brandon´s last blog ..<a href="http://teambabydinosaur.blogspot.com/2010/04/six-miles.html" rel="nofollow">Six Miles.</a> =-.

I have always disliked running and just recently started to run/jog and have kind of gotten into it. I love the way it makes me feel! As a result I will be running my FIRST 5K in May... its a very VERY hilly 5K which really scares me! But I am doing it and I am hoping for the best outcome. Not to mention being able to say "I just ran a 5K" will be a HUGE accomplishment in my life! xo I absolutely loved reading this!!!

What a feeling of accomplishment! I have kept up with the running, and now have run four 10k's, all while being pregnant! I run one 10k a month! But I used to say the same things about people running. Or I would say they were a showoff!! .-= Laura´s last blog ..<a href="http://mondaystarts.blogspot.com/2010/04/getting-slower.html" rel="nofollow">Getting Slower!</a> =-. I know that feeling!!

I have been running again from February, after another injury. And I have run a 5k near home (full of ups and downs) in less than 45 minutes. I know I'm not fast, but 1 month ago I did in more than 50 minutes, so it's a good achievement for me :-D Today I have reached my first goal in running again.

I just ran my first mile since high school on Wednesday, it was so hard but I felt amazing when I was done. I've always hated running but now I'm excited about trying something new.
