    I am nervous too! I do my first 5K this Saturday. My goal is just to go at a comfortable pace and to keep running. Hope I can make it through. Wish me luck everyone :-)

    Absolutely it is. You can do it though! And once you get started your nerves will go away and when you are done you will feel so accomplished!!! Way to go!

    Do it. And let the English see you do it. Circle around back and take out their archers. I'll meet you in the middle....

    Oh wait, sorry about that. Yeah, do it. You'll love it.

    I get nervous for every race I run, like sick to my stomach, horrible nerves, but as soon as I start that race I'm fine. Crossing the finish line is the best memory and it makes everything worth it!

    I started using the couch to 5k too, and running 1 minute straight was so hard for me in the beginning, now I run several 5k's, 10k's and half marathons a year, and usually 1 full marathon. You'll be fine! Try signing up for a 5k that hands out finisher medals. Looking forward to the medal at the end makes it all the better!
