Vurtual 10K- Anyone In?



Recommended Posts

Hello! Anyone interested in running/walking a 10k virtually?

I need the motivation so I was planning a 10k on December 15 or 16th.

We all walk/run 10k (6.2 miles) on either the 15th or 16th of December and we post our stats here. You can run it in the gym/home on a treadmill or on the streets. You can map out your course ahead of time using runkeeper.com if you decide to take your bad @?s to the streets.

One month to train and you can break it up to three miles each if you must but....

Check out Jeff Galloway's walk/run plans. He is really amazing for injury free running.

Come on you guys lets do this together you know like in the old days when someone said ,"lets eat out "and we all lined up ... We can come back on and be these super atheletes on the 16th...

Next weekend. Keep track of mileage and time. Post here when you are done. You can map out the route you will take to get to the 10k on mapmyrun.com. You can also use apps on your smart phone like runkeeper or Nike.

You can also split the 10k into 2 parts if you can't do the 10 altogether!

OK count me in, my current time for a 10K is 50 minutes (I know that sucks, I am a run/walker ;-) ) So I will try to beat my time, how is that Minimi?

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
