First 5K advice

[crazybikinchic]

I decided to try to run my first 5K on October 14. I am not a good runner but I believe in what it is benefiting. I would appreciate any advice on what I should be doing in the next couple of weeks to get ready for it. Thanks.

Well... what is your background? Do you ever run at all?

If you don't come from a running background, go to www.jeffgalloway.com for tips. If you are a runner already, then see www.halhigdon.com for a 5K training program and just use the last couple weeks to get you ready.
Have fun!
