5K River Bank Run

Anyone out there training for the 5K River Bank Run in Grand Rapids? I have entered to run in it. This will be my first race. A year ago I wouldn't have even imagined doing this. 265.5/159/140

Hey Manda, You go girl!! I'm running in the Bay City St. Patricks day run this coming Sunday. I did my first race last year in Saginaw. It's an awesome thing to accomplish!! Susan

Well I haven't been exercising at all but I do own a treadmill so I have no excuse. How are you going to train? Is 5k like 3 miles? I could MAYBE run one. I can't imagine running 3. When is the race? Patty

I am following the training program for the 5K from their website, however started alot earlier than when they show on their chart. I started back in January. A 5k is 3.1 miles. I hope you think about it. http://www.53riverbankrun.com/training/5kschedules.php

Best of luck to you Manda!!! I hope you do well. I will not be running. For me, running is merely a way to escape criminals and wild animals - and catch the occasional bus or runaway pet. Good luck!! Bekki
