 Posted: 04/29/04 - 12:02 Post subject: So I'm thinking about running a 5k this Saturday morning
for kicks. 
Outside of tennis practices/games and lacrosse officiating, I haven't run squat in almost 4 months (due to my lingering knee problems). I haven't run a race since last October. 
But there is this small (local) 5K at a church on Saturday morning, not even 2 miles from my house. My knee is feeling much better these days and I'm thinking of test it out in this race. Eventually, I will have to get back out there. Mentally as much as physically, I want to test myself.
Your thoughts or concerns?

personally i say go for it if YOU think your knee is up for it. it's exactly what i have been doing as well, also for knee problems. i think a small 5k would be ideal to try it out on.

I contacted the race director and he said the course is a 3 of a scale of 1 (flat) to 10 (mountains). |
I saw that one. I probably will give this one a go and see how I feel.
And you?

Are you doing this? I was thinking about it.
Nice Van Halen reference in your sig line, BTW.

I'm putting it down as a tentative on my racing schedule. I should be in decent 5K shape by then.
