5k run
 

started low carb in may 08...lost 65 lbs in about8 mos....have kept it off and yesterday ran my 1st 5k run,finishing in 27 min 8 sec...came in 52nd out of 115 runners.

middle of the pack for a FIRST time out is more than respectable! Way to go!

Awesome job!!!! Congratulations.
Are you planning any more 5k runs?

My goodness, 65 lbs weightloss in 8 months' time! That's absolutely astonishing.

And now you're being a role model again, having finished your 1st 5 k run in less than half an hour.

Well done, John!

definitly...loved it...now my next goal is 10k...a long way off in my future

Congratulations! It feels amazing, doesn't it?!! You had a great time for your first 5k (sub 30)...I wish I was that fast now.

Way to go! :thup:

That is a great time! Congratulations. I run, too.

How do you guys train? I would love to be a runner but since beginning LC in August of 2008, I barely have the energy for it. Before that I did fairly well. No competitions but I ran daily about 3 miles or more. I can handle walking but the running seems too much. Any suggestions?

personally i have more energy now than i ever had before.i do eat a little fruit now,grapes and cantalope and on race days i'll treat myself to a banana!!!lol.by the way where in wv are you ?i've ran 2 races in huntington

Huntington! Which did you run? I can't seem to work up the nerve to enter. I have a fear of not finishing or coming in last. Not the most confident person in the world!

What do you eat before your runs normally? I can see a banana on race day. Apparently it isn't killing you! Congratulations on your time. That is fantastic!

i ran the mu alum run and the prestera run for recovery,that one was in the pouring rain..i always just eat a some grapes and a half a banana on race morning..very little before running..you should try one its the best feeling when you cross that finish line
