5k in my future

I had a wonderful dinner last night with friends.  I found some new inspiration.  One of my goals is suppose to run a 5k.  However, I always end up hurting myself.  My friend gave me some great advice.  Below is the program that she sent to help me achieve my goal.  

Advice

• Allow at least a day between runs when you begin.
• If in doubt, slow down. You should be able to hold a conversation while you run. Respecting your body is the best route to progression.
• Walk purposefully, and be strict with your run/walk timings.
• Take heart! You will get there!
