I'm an amateur runner and yesterday I finally managed a 5K at a decent pace. 28 minutes 9 seconds. I was never fit at all when I was younger and I still think I'm pretty lazy, but I have numbers I can point to that indicate improvement!

I just wanted to brag a lil since I've heard under 30 for a 5k is pretty decent

Under 30:00 for a 5K makes you a Runner.
