Yep i've been wanting to do this for awhile, and tommorow I'll be out bright and early running/walking my first 5k competition. I'll let everyone one know how it goes, and hopefully I'll have some pictures to post.

Good Luck, Shasta! You are going to do great! I've been running 5k's for years now, in fact I ran a 5k at my highest weight of 281 last year on Thanksgiving Day. Remember, if you think you can't sustain running the entire 3.1 miles then try this method: Run for 2 minutes and walk for 3. It really takes the pressure off. I am doing my first 5k since my surgery on September 20 and I am super stoked! It's one of the most incredible feelings of accomplishment! Can't wait to hear how it goes!
