How to run a 5K in under 30 minutes
It made me
proud 
"First step: Run a 5K in OVER 30 minutes"
How I did it: Today I finally achieved this goal, about a year and ten months after a year and ten months after starting the Couch to 5K program. My first 5K took 41:11 (Sept 2008). Today my time was 29:35 (May 2010).
I’ve run a lot of 5Ks between then and now (plus a few 10Ks and a half marathon), and slowly but surely, my finishing times dropped.
Yay!
Lessons & tips:
- Be happy with smaller accomplishments along the way. My first goal was a 5K no matter what the time. Then it was in under 40 minutes, under 36, under 33 etc.
- Don't be too hard on yourself or compare yourself to others too much.
