Oh can you register without paying? I wanna do the 10k too. - madsdad  1244.5 #66 2:54PM

You've taken the first step! 4 months ago I started running (which I hadn't done in 20 years). Trust me if you set a training plan and keep to it you'll do great! Ease into it and remember walking is great training too. Doing both the 5k and half this weekend I saw people of all ages and abilities. I'm looking forward to hearing about you're progress! - NikkiMickey  1654.8 #47 2:57PM

Good for you to get signed up!! I had bad shin splints until I had shoes with better arch support...head to a running store to get your feet evaluated and buy some good shoes. - Linzee  533.3 #218 3:04PM

Way to go SIC! I hear ya on the shin splints! I wear NikeAirMax, and find that it really helps. When I run on the treadmill I NEVER get them. Shin splints stink!!!! We are going to sign up for the 10K too, maybe we will see you there! - 7mouskedoodles  163.9 #2139 3:14PM

I don't know thing one about running training, but I am sure you will do well. You're very determined, which is a great deal of what it will take. Please keep us up to date on how you're doing. You have more guts than I do. - MyPark  946.4 #94 3:19PM

I signed my husband and myself up for the 10k in August too! I am not a runner at all, but I am going to do my best. Good luck! - goofymom2boys  498.2 #242 3:49PM

Run a minute, walk a minute is a good starting point - CaptnSparrow  580.6 #194 5:06PM

You have plenty of time to train. The hardest part is making the commitment to do it. Good for you and I know you will accomplish what you've set your mind to do. - LilSterner  2686.2 #20 5:08PM

I'm going to have to do this as well. - RadioMaverick  673.3 #160 5:12PM

You have six months that is more than enough. I have a great training program for all distances which is a program I received from the training group of LAPD, I can find it, either send it to you, or, post it on my mousetopia, I am still trying to post some other stuff there so it might take me a day or two! It helped me with distances of 3 to 9 miles but goes up to 26 miles, and it really helps keep you interested in training. I used to train people for some races and the main thing is to keep the training fun, interesting, do-able for your level, and go to go out even when you can find the excuse not too!! I hope you all do great, I am trying to find out if I am allowed to at least walk it if not run, I want to do these so bad!! - secretagentangel  710.6 #143 5:40PM

How exciting!! I have no advice as I've never run a race of any kind lol...but I know you'll do awesome!! 😊 - MinnieMousewife  636.1 #173 5:41PM

I did the half this weekend with little training and finished( beat the bus!!!). Even though my body hates me today, I think I'll do it again with training next year. - Ohana  202.1 #1637 5:55PM

I have a training program also by he guy who does rundisney. Send me your email and I can send it to you. That is what I'm going to use the next time around and make time to do it - Ohana  202.1 #1637 5:57PM
