Well, my son is egging me on to do the 9k with him next May for the troops this would be a good start. I am going to call the Dr about my knee this week, to see what he says about me running. Something I never would have even thought of 2 years ago, maybe even 1 year ago. But today you have peeked my interest and maybe it is my allergy rattled brain talking lol but who knows this could be the begging of a good thing.
Hope to be able to make it.

Awesome Laurie -
Yea I hear you about knee issues...and about the allergies!!! I am wondering myself if it is not the pain medication motivating me, LOL ;-)
Well the walk-run is part of a "fit at 5" initiative going on in ME, so all abilities are encouraged to work towards this goal. Believe me I know I will not be in any shape to run it all through!!!!
But for me, especially Post-op this week! It is a sweet goal to go for. My understanding is that first time 5 K walkers/runners are encouraged to apply! :-)
I will be looking at the free training program being offered by the Main Running Company. Then seeing if I can replicate it myself to start building strength towards the October Event.
I still have a few weeks unit I can actually do any working out...but I figure, maybe I can begin to set up an exercise program to help me.
Being post-op and cooped up indoors recovering has been tough, I actually miss the treadmill and gym workouts I had gotten used to pre-op....
Anyway - let me know and maybe we can meet up at the PF in Rochester sometime when I am cleared to start working out again.
