| I am not a runner myself but have several friends that do. I have no problem doing 5k on a treadmill circuit but outside, it's tougher. I've gone to national races where a few are trying for the record but there are dozens just trying to walk it. If you have someone there that is in better shape than you, buy them admission and have them record your progress as well as crossing the finish time under the clock. Put your race stuff in a book. If you keep at it, you can track your progress, a great motivator. My friends never did this and regret not having anything to remember the event with except the t-shirt.
