Subject: OMG can I do this?

My friend (although I might be redefining our relationship now) has signed me up to run a 5k with her on Saturday - for fun.

Let me be clear, I work out but running does not make up any aspect of this. Oh, and I don't really like running! Has anyone done a 5k untrained and lived to tell the tale?

Iv never done any kind of run, but i do wish you well & hope you have lots of fun.

Oh n im sure that you wont have to run it if you dont want to, you can prob walk the 5k instead im sure lots of ppl will be walking it 2.

Eek! I definitely agree with Pinky_Becca - walk it instead! You could jog or run in sections but running a whole 5K without any training is pretty much asking for trouble IMO.

It does sound like it might be fun though, if you can convince your friend to walk with you a bit and not run the whole way - bit mean of her to sign you up without asking you though!

You can totally do this! Walk, run, jog it's only 3 miles. It's about 45 minutes out of your life if you walk all the way.

You can be mad at your friend or look at it as a fun spontaneous opportunity to do something different with you friend
