LA MARATHON 5K RUN/WALK MARCH 19, 2011

Options
Hey all ... a friend and I are joining this. In fact, both of us have already signed up for the 5K walk to take place the Saturday before the "main event" on Sunday. The sign up/details are here http://www.lamarathon.com/event/5k-run/ . It's like $ 38.00 to sign up and you can also run for a charity. I think our 5K is going to be more of a walk / jog or, if we really work up to it an actual run. I will see as I get closer how my knees are doing. I should be at my goal weight at that time so that will be good!

This is my first ever 5K and I am super excited ... If you are in the Los Angeles Area, why don't you join us :) We have 4 months!

    I'm toying with doing the 5K run as well...though I'm more of a treadmill runner than asphalt (knee problems). Maybe I'll try a week of running outside after the weather clears and see how i feel then :-)

    I actually have MORE problems with my knees running on a treadmill then I do on a trail / asphalt ... it's weird.
