I "completed" my first 5K race in 42 minutes - I say "completed" because I did not run the distance non stop - though the 1st mile was run non stop, and then a walk/jog combination as my lungs and legs allowed. It was fun to finish the race, with total strangers cheering you on, and a table with hundreds of glasses of Gatorade/water waiting at the end. It was fun doing "bottoms-up" on so many glasses - and even more fun to get the bragging rights of completing a 5 K run.
Fun aside, it was a fantastic event organized by a charity organization (more details on http://ashanet.org/chicago/5k/ ). The next goal is to complete a "non stop" 5K before this winter sets in, and running outside is no longer possible!
