Re breathing: How exactly should I be breathing? I looked online but really couldn't find much.
Lady Pi Phi: I'm doing the Oktoberfest Run . I know you're in TO, but if you wanted a goal to strive for (I'm such a goal driven person I know I wouldn't stick to running if it wasn't for a race) you could do it with me! I have some friends I'm running "with" but they're all fit and will finish far before me!
ETA: Everyone - Thanks for all the support! I know I can do this if I work at it!

Thanks Kapploo! I'll give this a try tonight. Heading for the gym after work. I don't think I'll actually enter the race, but I can definitly have the same goal. It'll be great motivation for me to head to the gym and get in shape if I'm striving to be able to run 5k in 2 months.
