I finished the Couch-to-5K program this morning, polishing off my last 30 minute run at 5.5 mph. My 5K time (including 5-minute warmup walk and cooldown) was 35:28. And I discovered that I definitely need to start carrying Gatorade instead of water on morning runs, because I had absolutely zero left in the tank after finishing.

That's awesome, congratulations! Is May the earliest race in your area? I'd want to get out there sooner if it were me.
Hell, by then you'll probably be ready for a 10k!
I could have signed up for a 10K on the same weekend, but I wanted to make sure I took it easy the first time out. I might be doing a duathlon at the beginning of May, too.
I always wanted my first race to be this one -- I guess I didn't figure I'd have come so far so quickly.
