[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any time that means you finished. My first 5k was so slow that they almost took down the markers but I finished and improved on it the next time. We can't all be DK Metcalf. Some of us just aren't that fast and that's ok too.

This 1000%

Just keep doing you.  If you are pushing yourself hard enough that you are getting the cardio benefit out of it, who cares what your time is?

op here. I care! it’s fun to compete. [/quote]

OP-

If you are running 5ks in the DC metro area, there are going to be TONS of people running miles in the 6 and 7 min mile range.  This is not feasible for you, so not really sure what you want to hear.  As others have said, it's all relative.  I think aiming for a sub 30 minute 5k would be a good goal for you.  Most people wouldn't consider that "good" in the absolute sense, but since you are newer to running and in your 40s, seems like a great time to aim for.  Once you get to that, start aiming for reducing your time from there.[/quote]
