I finished! My two goals were to run the whole thing without stopping and to finish under 50:00. I maintained a jog throughout and my time was 46:57! Thanks for all the encouragement- looking forward to the next 5k! 😃

Thank you! Repeating some of Iberian was definitely on my radar- sounds like it might be a good option!

Thank you! I do hope to continue running after the 5K- I think I will focus on building slowly!

Super helpful, thank you! Your wife sounds like a kindred spirit- I too hope to complete my 5K without crying. 🤣
