    I'd like to do a 5K, but not this Thurs, lol. I'm shooting for Sept/Oct. I could walk a 5k at a good pace but I'm no where near running one.

    i meant a walking 5k!! unless that is just too easy? or is a 5k supposed to be running? i guess id like to train weekly for an eventual running 5k LOL!

    Oh well in that case I'm in! But, I might have to do it indoors if that's ok, modify it a bit. We are supposed to get ice/snow on Tues and if it's still around I might stay in. A 5k is 3.1 miles and I have some Leslie Sansone videos and I could do her 3 mile and then a little extra.

    I guess a 5K can def be walking or running, I just assumed you meant running, lol. I'm wanting to run in a 5 K this year. We have a city wide one in September and the Susan G Komen in Oct that I'm aiming for.

    Until I get out of my apt and into a house (hopefully in the next 6 moths) I don't have a treadmill. I actually have one, a wt bench and a heavy bag at my sisters gather dust in her garage...can't wait to get it all back. But...after I start my new job in Feb I'm thinking about joining a gym....maybe. Until then, it's dvd's in the living room.

    I did it on the elliptical to avoid knee pain... But my thigh muscles are sore. Really sore
