How to run a 5k by j9blair

"I expected to be faster than I was, but it opened a door I never would have thought to look behind"

How I did it: I did the Cool Runnings Couch to 5k program.  I was disappointed in my 42 minute finish.  But it opened my eyes to running, which I never thought would be something I wanted to do.

I finished a half marathon exactly a year later and aspire to do a triathlon and live up to the name "athlete".

Lessons & tips: Don't worry about your time.  Don't try and prove something by running the entire time.  If you want to run/walk do it.  I tried running the entire time and was passed by run/walkers.
