Running the 5K

It's official...I signed up to run the Freedom Festival 5K race in Provo this summer July 5th. I think it will be a good experience. But I really need to get serious about training. My goal is to run it faster than I did the Orem 5K run last summer (45 minutes). I am not really a runner so this has been a great way to stretch myself. I will sign up for the Orem 5K run this summer which is June 12th. This has been a good motivation for me to walk and run the track every day. Wish me luck!

Hooray! Good luck! I'm sure you'll do great :) I signed up for my first ever 5K and I've got about 6 more weeks to get ready. I'm so nervous and excited!

Kari, I want to be brave like you. I'm scared. I so badly want to run a 5K this year, but I too am not a runner. Just is case I get brave, how do you sign-up for the Orem 5K?

Awesome Kari! I hope I can still do mine. My leg has been in a lot of pain so I am on an involuntary leave of running for a few days to make sure I don't force a stress fracture. Dang body if it's not one thing it's another. I'm going to go running tomorrow and if it doesn't hurt I'll keep training, but if it does I'm going to get an x-ray.
