    I think if you can go 30 minutes on a tready, you'll be fine with a 5K. Good luck!

    You will be fine. If you are going 30 min on the treadmill you will make the 5k, if anything nerves will get you through it. Good luck!!

    definately can do it! Will be something to look forward to; short term goal

    I have been running quite a bit lately, noticed I can do a 5k in 30 min so I know you can make it!
