Anyone up for a 5K a month?

mommyami1

My friend and I decided to run a 5K every month starting this month. We just finished the Rivalry Run here in Kansas City. Next month we're planning on doing the Dot-to-Dot. We're choosing them mostly by charity. So, I thought it would be fun to start a group on MFP for support and motivation. Does anyone else want to do it too or do you do this already? We could all use some support! It doesn't matter what city you're in. I think it would just be a good way for us aspiring runners to keep the motivation and training going. We could just choose the race, register, and then post which one we're doing so we can be held accountable and share our victories. I hope to make some new friends too. Thanks for reading and I hope you join us!

I like the sound of that - tho I can't start until next month, but I can handle doing one a month

I don't even think there is one once a month in this area. Darn. I'm running my first one tomorrow

I'm in. I'll have to check the races in my area, but I'm pretty sure there is one monthly...especially now that Fall is coming and that's the perfect temp. to run in. (at least around here).

I think it's a great idea! I can't do one this month, but next month I can start. There are a ton of 5K's in this are during the fall.

My first is planned for September 10th, DH and I just planned one for October 2, there's always the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day, but then I think I'm done - too much unpredictable weather in December in NW Ohio... I'm in until December...

I love the sound of this. I am currently in PT for my shin splints and they do not want me to run and I have to follow their runners program to ease my way back in. But if this group is still up and running in about a month, I would love to do the same. I live near Boston and there are tons of races around the Boston area.

Please, everyone keep us posted how you do. I am excited to run soon. Good luck all.

Count me in - I pretty much run 1-2 a month anyway, so it would be nice to have some fellow runners to chat with about training.
