So This is How Long 5K Is

Do you think you can walk/run 5 Kilometers? Join the Bagong Silang Fun Walk-Run on February 20.

I'm still contemplating if I will join this event. I have arthritis right now (too much info!) and not sure I'd be comfortable walking 5K. Plus I am not exactly fit :p

Four years ago, I promised myself I would train for and join a marathon but never got around to doing them (Ah, story of my life- making promises I can't keep). Maybe I should sign up for the event and start training tomorrow? The event is only a week away but it's a fun run so maybe 1 week is a good enough training time? Am I going to kill myself? :D

Event information can be found here.

Did you go on this fun run? 5km is like 3.1 miles... I believe a km runs from the townplaza all the way to velazco hospital...

Hi, I did :-) This was the first run I joined. I still run up to this day but I've been lazy the past week because of the rains.

Thanks for the continued update on Silang. Whenever I visit Silang (mostly around the fiesta celebrations, I do my daily walk from Mary Ann Village going south on P Montoya , J Rizal, east on Asuncion St then head north on Blumentrit to J Rizal then west on the street where the cemetery is and then head south again on P Montoya until I get back to Mary Ann Village. This takes me nearly an hour to walk. By the time I was done walking, I was so soaked and felt like spending an hour in the gym. Not bad for a 57 year old man.
