Running in 5K (3.1 miles) races around NJ and NYC
Hello everyone,
The weather is starting to get nicer and spring time is closing in.
I am running the NYC 1/2 Marathon next sunday. I ran the NYC full Marathon last November.
I also run alot of 5K races 3.1 miles, they are fun events with things to do before and after, also great exercise.
Ill post the runs a few weeks in advance, amybe a bunch of us can get together, have fun and get good exercise.

Hi Mike,
I am also doing the NYC 1/2 and run a lot of races in the area from 5k's to marathons. NJYP normally does the Jimmy D 5k every year as a group. It would be great to get together for other races as well.

I am interested, too. I used to be a sprinter in h.s. (100, 200, 400m) but now I am interested in trying out some 5Ks (yikes!) Slight problem- had a knee injury a few months ago and wasn't able to finish a full course of PT. When I have time to finish PT or if it gets better on its own, I'd love to start running more and attempt a 5K, maybe by the summer. Keep me in the loop! :o)

I just signed up for the NJ Half in Long Branch too. This will be my first half marathon. I did a few 5Ks last year; I'm just waiting for the weather to get nicer and I'll do more this year as well.
