Morrigainz Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Woohoo! Yay for making it easier for idiots! I'm TOTALLY in this time, for reals, for the 5k My last 5k time was around weirdquark's...so that's the time to beat for me!!! Quote Level ?

Mickie Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 DOING BOTH.Right now my 10k time is a little less than 59 minutes and my 5k time is 28:08, so this is perfect motivation to work on bringing those times down.

shutterpillar Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'm in! I'll be doing the 5K. Hopefully it will be warm enough in April to get a little practice in. We will be coming back from our Disney vacation on March 30th, so hopefully I am not too out of shape! LOL. I'll probably be running on April 7th so I can get in a little practice.

BarefootDawsy Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Did a nice 5k last night...gotta build back up to 10k form now... Quote BAREFOOT DAWSY Scout Commander (ret.) Link to comment
CBB Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'm in for the 5K! Been working on my pace and endurance in my new Vibrams so and will attempt to be 10K ready by then but we'll see, other irons getting pumped right now. Thanks for the great idea/motivation! Quote Link to comment
CalvinHobbes Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Both!I might not be able to do the 10k but I want to try Quote Link to comment
Shukar Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I'm in for both, though the 5k will be a little short of recent runs. My times may not be good enough to win but it'll be good motivation to do something competitive and timed. Even if the only person I beat is myself it'll be worth it. Quote Scout 30/Ranger 1 (3 skipped) Spoiler "I must not fear. / Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing......Only I will remain." -Litany Against Fear Facebook | Twitter | Runkeeper | Strava Shukar Still Isn't Lion Link to comment
Loren Wade Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Ugh. This might be barely too soon for a 10k for me... but count me in for the 5k. Quote lobro's a druid? twitter | fb Link to comment

Tianith Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 This sounds like fun! I'm in for the 5k, since I just started running on... Tuesday. Going for my second run tomorrow. Edited because I forgot it was March and that April is in a few weeks. Thought it was February. There's no way I can learn to run 10k in three weeks. =P Quote Link to comment

Loren Wade Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Tianith, you can run a 5k too. Quote lobro's a druid? twitter | fb Link to comment

My friend did my make-up (I have no talent for special effects make-up) but I'll see if I can throw something together for my 5k run. =PAnd thank you Loren for the encouragement.

I mean... it is. But, "This time, you get to choose between 2 distances: 5k and 10k" from the original post. You can run either. If you're already running, I'm sure you can pull off a 5k!

Tianith Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Ooohhh, okay. Since I already said I was doing the 5k, I wasn't sure how else you could have meant it. =PThis is one of those times where I really miss actually talking to someone in person, things like inflection are so very helpful..

BarefootDawsy Posted March 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Added another 5k training run tonight..that t-shirt's mine, baby! Quote BAREFOOT DAWSY Scout Commander (ret.) Link to comment
Waldo Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 I'm going to do them both. I'm probably not going to be anywhere near the leaderboard though. Slowly but surely working my speed up, at least I'm out of the "I just finished the couch to 5K program" speed zone.
