I'm registered!! Training has slowed down because I'm no longer going to run the 5K. My knees started to feel weird and I don't want to injure my knee(s) ...so needless to say, I'm now walking the 5K. In addition to my knees, what ultimately made me change my mind about running is that a few weeks ago I found out that the park where the event is being held has lots of small hills and it's a trail, not a paved road. A few days following that new information, I did almost 3 miles in my very hill laden subdivision. I was shocked that my time slowed down to 5 minutes more per mile! That's my fault for training only indoors on my treadmill. I should have split the time and ran outside also. Oh well, lesson learned. I'm a little let down about it, but on the upside I'm happy that several members of my book club will now be joining me on the walk!
