I did it! I survived the 5K! And I even ran a little bit of it!
It wasn't a timed race, but I estimated it took me about 45 minutes to complete. My knee was fine, but my breathing was more of a problem. It was crazy humid out. I have to say it didn't feel as far of a distance as I thought it would. And, about 10 minutes after finishing, I got a second wind and wanted to get going again!
I've decided that I'm going to start walking/running outside more often, in addition to everything I'm doing at the gym. I really liked it, I just have to work up my stamina. My knee feels fine today, my hip is a little off because it isn't used to impact like that since the elliptical has no impact.
I have many more 5K's in my future. I'm hoping to be able to run most, if not all, of a 5K by next summer.
