That's awesome Dawn!  I love that run! After almost a 10 year hiatus (because of weight gain) I returned to running last fall. Hope you love it as much as I do. It's officially my 'thing' again and I'm so grateful to be able to run.

Go for it!

Do you have a good training plan?  That's the key to success...

Zombies Run! has a 5K training app that I love.  I completed it last year on the elliptical and felt awesome :D

couch to 5k is good, easy, and free.  I did it a few years ago (at 280 lbs), and I finished it.  Then you can bridge to 5k.  I also have ZOmbies, run!  But I'd start with C25K.  You can then bridge to 10 k if you want. 

It never occurred to me to do Zombies on the elliptical.  I can't run any more (plantar fasciitis), but the elliptical is a little easier.
