Are you participating?

I am.

Me too! I'm really excited about it, which seems kind of silly, but it has been several years since I've walked a 5K. Really, several years since I've been in good enough shape that I will be able to walk a 5K like it's not a big deal. It feels like a celebration of how far I've come in the last 6 months. So, I can't wait!

That's great! This year I am going to walk it, but next year, I WILL RUN it.

I did my training today. Did anyone else?

I signed up last week. I'm very excited and it's my first time doing it. I'm also in the midst of training for a 5K run at the same time, I'll be very active these next couple of months.

Please keep me up to date on how it helps your journey. I'm wanting to run and I'm around the same weight, but am nervous.

Thanks.

I want to do it but have no one to walk with

I am! I'm running my first 5K April 16th and another on May 1st for The March of Dimes. I've also been training for a half marathon which will be in June =D

BlueEyes83, I am walking by myself. Not a particular fan of it, but I assume it will get better.

KimberlyP, that sounds exciting! Let us know how they go.

Did training day 2.

I am doing it, not really training for it yet. I have been doing the elliptical for a while now so know I can make the 5k. My doc told me to stay off the treadmill, so I either have to train differently or wait for the weather to turn.

Looking forward to it!!!

All signed up . I found someone to walk with also!!

Yeah, i will sign up. Walking with 2 other people. Looking forward to it. I am not a huge fan of walking, i find it boring! but i think it will be good conversation so i will do it. How long does it take to walk 5k?

All depends on your pase, I walk a mile in about 15-20 minutes so it will take me about an hour to walk.

Yesterday was a rest day for me. Back to walking today.
