Anyone trained or have done a 5K?

I am wanting to do a 5K that is held on Thanksgiving morning. Has anyone done anything like this and where did you go for help in training? I know its not very long but I was just curious where to begin. Thanks Jane

I did one once (when I was 350+ lbs) and I'm doing another one next month. I never trained for it. Just jumped right in! Hopefully this time being almost 150 lbs less it'll be even better!! Good luck! Vi

Walking about.com is a great walkers training guide. I used the half marethon training guide and it was great I am going for a full marethon soon. they also have 5 and 10 k guides. if you run then just use thedistance part of thr training. Mainly, just get out there and walk. do not walk a couple of days befor the race. let your body refual and build back the energy needed to do your best for the race. Good luck I know you will do great!! Deb
