I WANNA DO A 5K RUN!

Derek,

I don't have anything to add to the great advice you've been given, I just want to wish you luck on your first race!

Mary

Bless you all! Your tips and encouragement have been well recieved!

I'm on the move..................

Thank you!

Hi Derek,

Im Karen. And we have the SAME goal for '09. I want to do my first 5k on May or June. I also want to do a 10k in Sept.

I've been training for my first 5k for the past week.

I think this forum is gonna be great for us.  Good luck!!!

 Derek,

I have set the same goal for myself.  And I have been doing the couch to 5k program, and my only advise is start slow and run longer.  I started at a speed of 3.5 and now I am at 5.5 running for 2.5 miles.  Also get some great music to keep you going.  I love my ipod.   

good luck my first 5k is May 10th.
