Vurtual 10K- Anyone In?

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.

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!

Not sure how ill go even though I said I was in weeks ago. Have been really sick the last few weeks and only just started walking again tonight and boy did that walk feel good! I'm still in and going to give it my best shot.

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?

Good morning all! This is the weekend for the 10k.

I hope those who signed up can still do so.

As added motivation I am running my 10k in honor of the victims of yesterday's tragic shooting.

Please post your results here so we can all Celebrate together. Also any thoughts you had about the experience would be great.

Happy run/walk everyone

Bee strong!
