If you had told me even a year ago that I would be writing this, I would not have believed you, but friends, I have become a total 5K addict!!! I LOVE them... They are just the right length for improving my times and working on goals and the atmosphere has been fun and supportive no matter what venue we have attempted them in..... Today was my 3rd one and I have improved my time each time...We have another one in 2 weeks, one scheduled for September and one for October! It is pure crazy!! I am NOT a runner..I mostly walk and try to increase a bit with my jogging each time....
If you are looking to get motivated...Try one!! Don't worry about where you finish or what people will think because most everyone is just excited you are there!!
Yes, I love doing 5Ks and I can barely believe it!!!
