in Getting Started
Well Saturday 10/11 is going to be my first 5k every. Does anyone have any advice for a newbie? I have created a team and although we all have our strengths and wont all be running, I really want to do my best and jog as much of it as i can. I am going to get on the treadmill tonight when i get home for work and do at least 20 mins I have my kids and will be the only one home they are 2 and 3 so I cant go outside and run with them.

    This is what I did... I could not run the whole thing so I had the Ipod and everytime a new song started I ran until I could no longer go. walked the rest of the song and repeated everytime a song started.
