I forgot to update with the results of my 5K...I beat my earlier time by over 4/12 minutes (36:16)! I'm so much happier with my performance in this race. I really feel like that is a better run than at my first one. Of course, now I'm going to do another one in about 2 weeks - I'm addicted!

Ruthy - I feel the same way - I run at lunch at least once a week and I get very short with my coworkers if I don't get my run in. I'm just not enough of a morning person to get up early and run yet.

Linda - I don't have a lot of advice for a 10K since 5K is my longest run to date. I'm hoping to do a 10K in Spetember though. I think as long as you're getting in at least 20 miles a week, you should be fine just to finish. Good luck!
