I pre-registered for this 5k (supposedly in August, but as of now undetermined) and I was just wondering if there are any other MFP folks who might be going. I'm fairly new to California, so I haven't got anyone else to run with, but I really wanted to try a 5k. I've heard this one is especially fun and I've been working out a couple of days a week (been using the Zombies, Run 5k app) since February to help prepare myself. I have a ways to go, but it'd be really fun to have others to share in the experience with!

    Whoaaaa, I live in Santa Barbara! I run once or twice a week. But, usually in the AM like 6AM!

    I used to try to walk that early in the morning, but my work schedule has shifted so I work at night and wouldn't get much sleep if I got up so early. Lol. Have you done a 5k before? Have you done a Run or Dye before? I haven't been able to run even a whole mile yet, but I can feel myself getting stronger and my recovery time is shortening--which is exciting. :) And I've done a 5k jog/walk combo thus far, and walking 5k is a breeze, obviously, but I just hope I'm ready to run AT LEAST half of the 5k. Kinda just looking for someone to join in the struggle, ya know? Lol

    I'd be interested in that event, I'm pretty close to that area. I'm doing my first event this weekend, a 5k mudrun.

    Mudrun? That sounds like an absolutely ridiculous amount of fun.
    Let me know how it goes?
