I've been running for about two weeks, and I've decide to train for a 5k. This 5k.

My girls are talking about doing that one -
I don't run, but that looks like it would be fun.

Go for it! Use the Runner's World forums for encouragement and ideas.
I used to run the Tufts 10K in Boston every year with my field hockey and ski teams. Tons of fun, even if I'm not much of a runner. My best overal time was somewhere around 55 minutes, I think my one-mile personal record topped out at 8:30. My sister usually ran it in around 48 minutes, but she was a XC runner, so she was better suited to long distances. I was better at sprints.Comment

I'm not in near enough shape for a 5k, but if I was, I would totally do that one. I've read about it before, and I hear it's loads of fun! That, and the Warrior Dash always looked fun, too.Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.Comment

Which one? I know a couple of my friends are going to be zombies at the Pennsylvania one, and one of my co-workers is running in the Maryland Halloween (10-27) run (if he doesn't kill himself doing triathlons before then)..."If your day is filled with firefighting, you need to start taking the matches away from the toddlers…” - HMComment

PA. I'm hoping my cousin (and running buddy) will join me. I was thinking of proposing a CS meetup, a little closer to the time.The High Priest is an Illusion!Comment

I was told about that while at a cake competition a couple weeks ago. Sounds pretty fun."I've found that when you want to know the truth about someone, that someone is probably the last person you should ask." - HouseComment

Sounds a lot more interesting than a regular 5k. Do it!!"If you pray very hard, you can become a cat person." -Angela, "The Office"Comment

Hilarious. I'd love to watch one of those."Is it hot in here to you? It's very warm, isn't it?"--Nero, probablyComment

That might be fun. The PA one isn't all that far from me (about 2 hours) and watching would be cool. Have to check my schedule...Quoth Food Lady View Post"If your day is filled with firefighting, you need to start taking the matches away from the toddlers…” - HMComment

My girls are doing the PA one. I am a couple of hours southComment

I wish I had someone local who would drag me out running. I hate it, but if I have a partner to run with, it makes it a bit easier to get off my ass. Plus there's that whole "meh, I don't wanna do it, but I promised <person> so I better go meet them..."Comment

Holy cow, that looks like SO MUCH FUN.

I gotta send that link to my coworker. He's a runner and also a horror movie buff. Wonder if he's heard of it.
A few months ago he ran one of those mud runs and there was a live wire involved, which knocked him out (as well as several other people, apparently).I don't go in for ancient wisdom
