Running a 10k on the coast tomorrow. I'm nervous because it's my first 10k and I haven't been running so much. But I'm also excited to get out and give it my best.

Anyone else running a race this weekend??

    Best wishes on your race. My husband and I are doing a 5K walk/run for the American Heart Association on Sunday.

    My son, father and I are all participating in the 5k Army Run.

    This will be my first run/walk in a race...ever!

    I'm scared I won't make it. :(

    There's the Great North Run on Sunday for anyone interested in marathons. It'll be on the BBC for those of us who don't run :o)

    Oh you'll feel soooo awesome! The first run/walk is always the best because you come away and can say "I did it!!"

    An excellent cause! My very first 5k walk was a Susan G Komen in LA.

    Running a Founder's Day 5K tomorrow am. It'll be the first time running a 5K since I got plantar fasciitis over a month ago... I'm about 90% healed, but taking it slow in training again...... Hopefully I won't completely embarrass myself. I'm trying to be positive that at least I'll be racing instead of sitting on the sidelines. :-)
    Good luck to everyone!

    Not a race per se, but I’m trying for a PR – running the Terry Fox Run on Sunday. I used to do it every year with my family back in my hometown, back when I was a wee girl, so I’m excited to run it again. Husband might come with me!

    Good luck, everyone!

    I'm running my first 5k tomorrow morning -- I routinely run over 3 miles at a time so it should be a breeze, it's just my first real race ;-)

    ...and good luck on your 10k!! I am running my first one on October 29 -- I'm super excited :)

    DONE!!! Ran it in 83 minutes. Would have been faster had I not strained my hip around mile 4. But I finished strong and I did the first 5k in 37 minutes which is an improvement from my 41 minute 5k in January.

    Did the 5K in 28 minutes....... I was happy, espeically since I pushed a double jogger most of the way (husband pushed it for the first 5 minutes)........... It was a fun race.

    But then we went to an art community thingy and now my plantar fasciitis is hurting again........... Got to take tomorrow off and ice it. :-(

    Woohoo! 29:29 for my 5K! Was hoping to break 30 minutes, but this was my first 5K race, so I wasn't sure if I could do it. So happy!

    Wow, that's pretty awesome for also pushing a jogger. Those things are beasts! Sorry to hear about the pain, hoping that gets better soon!
