(Or Weekend on the Run Part II: The Part in Which We Run off Those Cupcakes. Miss Part 1? Read it here .)
I have a confession to make: for years, I have been avoiding 5Ks like the plague. I’m not completely sure where this aversion came from. I mean, before that, I’d been doing 5Ks since I was 11 or 12 years old. But then college ended, and ...

Well, as Neil would say, “I deeeeeeed it!” I ran my first 5k! In 37:25, so not too shabby for a first-timer, and considering the rain and cold we ran through, I had a pretty good time doing it. Everyone was totally right when they said it’s completely addictive. It’s amazing to not only feel like you’ve reached a milestone, but so early ...

By the way, 60 minutes out of our 1,440 minutes per day = 4% of any given day. Can we find the time? Will we make the time?? How committed are we??

Kinda misleading title I know. No, I didn't just run my first 5k, but the 5k I am getting ready to run this Saturday was my first 5k last year. This Saturday I plan on running the second annual Saratoga 5k Fun Run .
This race is kinda important to me, and I am really looking forward to it. Last year at this time I had only been run ...

I finally did it.
On Wednesday night, January 26, I finally ran my first 5K of 2011.
To be honest, it was my first 5K in a few months. To think that I used to believe that 3.1 miles was a “short” distance.
I realized that comparing my current self to my past running self isn’t realistic and instead of motivating me, depresses me. ...

That's right, today I signed up to do my very first 5K run!!! I'm so excited for this. Talk about a great goal to work towards. I've been doing the couch to 5K plan for a while myself. Then when the girls at work started to run with me, I started over and together we began at the beginning. The 5K is Sunday October 4th. By the time of the 5K we'll ...

I walked my first 5K race today. The Beach Wellness event was at the Bay City state park ... a bit chilly this morning, but it was a great walk.
Finish Time: 54:24
I never expected to get a bit emotional at the finish line. People cheering me on and all the ceremony of tracking my time and stuff. I definitely was near the end of the p ...

So I’m officially going to run my First 5K tomorrow! I’ll be running in the Turkey Trot sponsored by the Las Vegas Running Team . Hopefully if there are any turkeys running the race, I'll be able to beat them! I’m still planning to do the Santa Run 5K on December 4th. It’s just that now it will be my 2nd official 5K!
I love to listen to mus ...

Getting Started in Running
Many women, myself included started running so that they can take part in a charity event. The 5K race which is just over 3 miles, is the first goal that many new runners aspire too, and there are many 5K races and events that cater just for women.
For example in the UK alone there is the now famous race for life ...

Not rain nor a bad alarm clock could keep me away from the first major Chicago 5k of the year.
Yesterday was the St. Paddy’s Day 5k and 8k, and all of the park land just north and south of the Peggy Notebart Nature Museum was flooded with a sea of green-clad racers.
It was a little cold and wet, but that didn’t keep our spirits dow ...
