My first 5k run!
Remember my trainers? Well I have been killing two birds with one stone recently and running on the treadmill at the gym with them.
Today I recorded my first 5K run and I was ecstatic; it took me just under 31 minutes. I was really proud of myself and rushed home to link to the NikePlus website to record my new achievement.
And wouldn't you know, some woman, somewhere in the world, has recorded a 5K run of just under 17 minutes! What! Was is steroid enhanced? Is that natural? Worst still, is that normal and am I really slow?
Oh gosh, I can feel my competitive side coming through...

I see this is quite a popular hobby among SL wearers.
Congrats dear.
congrats on running your first 5k. quite an accomplishment. i remember my first one. it's quite a rush!
Good for you!
It is popular. I feel the peer pressure...at least it;s for a positive endeavor. I've never run in my life; I'd be in trouble if I had to get away from someone. I'd be out of breath after a city block - cramps and all.
That does seem like an extremely fast time the other lady posted, but maybe a 5k is not as far as I think. I was never good at converting to metric.
Thank You Ladies!
BR, I never thought jogging was for me and had tried to take it up a few times before and failed miserably.
I've now been jogging since Easter; It has taken me since then to accomplish being able to run for over half an hour and in turn hitting the 5k mark.
31 minutes is great! Now I ran a slow 5k about 5 years ago and I came in next to last in my age range. The lady that was last had a slight asthma attack near the end or she probably would have beat me.
Good for you for runnung in a 5K race Ms Stella. I'm not sure I'm ready for that yet; I'll keep it to the gym for now...
Thanks for stopping by :-)
