So excited for this..finally a 5K event that falls on my day off!!! It's a day long fitness fun fair in South Jersey benefitting youth fitness..although I don't have children of my own, this is a cause I truly believe in...if we can get our youth involved in fitness at an early age...it only enhances their chances of making fitness a way of life! Speaking personally, I wish I had known of the great benefits of an active lifestyle much earlier in life than I did!
 
I've been wanting to do one, but having a hard time finding one not in the city, and I'm a bit chicken:eek::eek: I know I can run it, but with all those other people?:confused::confused:

GO, JERRY, GO!!!!!

That's great, Jerry! You will have a blast, and that is a good cause. I'm doing my once a year 5K race in July. The start is a mile and a half up my road -- how can I pass up that?! :)

Enjoy!!

Good for you! Have a great time, and hope you've got wonderful weather for it! My DD and boyfriend are starting their summer of 5k's in 2 weeks...It's crazy, every other weekend through August!

Jerry, that is AWESOME!!!!!

I know you will give it your all and do great. I will be at the beach that week so let me know where to root you on. I promise NOT to trip you!!!!

I really should do one. I just haven't put my mind to it yet.

I am so proud of you!!!!

Congratulations! 5Ks are everywhere up here in the New England area! I'm just not ready for one yet! I'm on week 2 of the Couch to 5K program and am already unsure as to whether I'll be able to make through week 3! My husband runs them now and again, though and I'm trying to get myself to where I can at least do one with him! We'll see . . .

But, again, congrats! I'm sure you'll do well!

Let us know how it goes!
 
Way to go Jerry! I started doing 5Ks in February 2008 and am totally addicted to racing (even though I'm not that good).

It's an amazing experience and I've meet some really cool people in the process.

Have a great time!
 
Awesome, Jerry! I did my first one of the season on Monday for Memorial Day and I have another one tomorrow morning to benefit the local county library. (I'm not great at running, but, hey, attempting a 5k race slowly beats sitting on the couch with a pint of ice cream!)

Good luck!!! :) You'll have to tell us all about it!
