Congrats on your decision. I will also be running a 5K in October. It's the Race for the Cure (breast cancer awareness run). A whole bunch of my coworkers signed up with me and we're running as a team. Something you also might want to consider ~ what are you going to wear race day? Find a sports bra that is supportive and comfy. Also, make sure your shorts/pants aren't too tight in the waist, etc. You don't want to be in pain for something you didn't think of in advance. Good luck with your training. I'm sure you will do just fine.
