Our church announced yesterday that we are going to hold a fundraising 5 k run and fun walk on Memorial Day. My goal is to be able to run the 5K! I have NEVER done this and with 2 bad knees, I'm sure I cold use A LOT of support!

    Use a Couch to 5 K program (just Google it)- you'll be able to run 30 min straight by the end of 9 weeks or so. That may not be exactly 5K yet, but it will be close. If you have a smartphone, there are lots of apps you can download that will tell you when to jog and when to walk, and also keep track of your distance and pace. I use JogLog on my iPhone, and I am in week 6 and loving it.

    Good luck!!
