I Signed Up for a 5K

So most of you know that ol’ WhiteRaven just had a birthday and turned 50…and that in the last few years lost about 150 lbs. Well, I’ve finally committed myself to taking my age and my beauty public! I signed up for my first 5K walk/run, it’s on June 8, so I have time to get my speed up before I display myself to the public! It shouldn’t be too hard, I’ve been trying to do a slow 5K every other day for the last 2 weeks and it takes me about 1.5 hours to complete without too much difficulty. The walk I signed up for is called “The Mosquito Meander”…I think it’ll be fun as long as my social anxiety and paranoia doesn’t get too bad.
Has anyone here ever done a 5K before and can you tell me whether being around all those people made it easier or harder for you?

good effort but dont push yourself too hard. you can be healthy with exercise without physical performance. 5k walk is a little on the long side for regular exercise.

Way to go! @WhiteRaven Good luck during your 5k. You’ll crush it

Im not trying to discourage but walking 30 mins briskly 3 times a day is better for overall health than 1 1.5 hr walk

That’s awesome!!! Good for you. I’m super impressed by both your accomplishments and your attitude. Great job!!!

That’s great that you’re working on your fitness level.

Very important!
