Turkey Day Run and Gobble Wobble

So... Here is the question tonight that I pose to the C25K crowd.... The "Turkey Day Run and Gobble Wobble" 5k is on Nov.22 and I will be on W8D2.... (jog for 2.75mi).... I would really like to try this race and it is only an extra 0.35mi anyway.... Should I go for it or wait until the next week after I graduate?

Currently (to save you from having to do the math), I just completed W3D2, and feel good or am I just getting to far ahead of myself?

Thanks for the advice.... Cheers

    I would go for it. Worst case scenario you just walk the last bit. I found that by week 8, it's mostly mental at that point.

    I would just go for it. Many people enter those fun races and plan to walk so if you have to run/walk it would be no big deal. I'm planning on doing a turkey day run myself for my first 5K. Good luck!
