I'd concur with your comments. Once you've done a bit of jogging and especially once you've handled different inclines, 5K is relatively easy but straight-off the bat, it might be a bit much. I know what I was like when I first attempted a jog. It does take a lot of will power to fight through the mental barrier but its very fulfilling when you clock up a good run and still feel like you could go for more.
