Anyone running a 10k in august/september? I am doing the Chicago 10k in August and would love to have a group on here for motivational purposes!

It's my first ever 10K! I actually haven't run much at all in the past year since I injured my knee last summer. But I've been running short runs the past few weeks and doing fine. And did 3.5 miles today and my knee is A-OKAY!

so whose with me?

    I haven't signed up for it yet, but hoping to do the 10k in Atlantic City in October. I started running last Sept. using the couch to 5k app. I've done 2 5k races and hope to do at least one more over the summer while training for a 10k. Now using the bridge to 10k app and running 4 miles without too much trouble. I just need to learn to pace myself so I can run the whole thing. My last 5k I started off way too fast and had a hard time after the first mile. I had to stop and walk a few seconds 3x and that annoyed the heck out of me b/c I can easily run 3.1 miles. I did the race in 28.58 and that is why I struggled to finish.
