Which is worse?
Signing up for a 5k and not running the entire thing (walking some because you aren't ready for an entire 5k)
or
Not signing up for the 5k because you will have to walk and listen to your friends and family cheer you on as you are walking and thus feel like a dingdong.

Re: Which is worse?
I vote for signing up and not running.
Ok that is settled - where's the cake?
Yes yes yes.
Not signing up, for sure.
Also, there will invariably be stretches along the route without spectators. So you can sneak in the walks when they arent looking.
Also plus, if you haven't raced before, you might be surprised at the difference adrenaline can make. You could be surprised at your performance.
I ran one 5k about two years ago. The race is downtown and so basically a giant road race. I change my mind at least every 5 minutes. GAH!
if it makes you feel any better, i am signed up to do a 5k next weekend with my dad and i fully plan on walking the entire thing. i hate running and am just going to support the cause.
right but your family can't be everywhere at once!
besides. plenty of people walk 5Ks. How much can you run now?
You should do it.
This response is both random and bizarre.
Not signing up. As long as you put yourself near the back of the corral so you don't piss off the runners, walking is just fine in a 5K.
Look, when I first started doing road races, I was one of the slowest people on the route. I would comfort myself by saying that I was ahead of the people who didn't participate that morning.
But gradually, I got better. I'll never be a speed demon, but I am a solid middle of the packer and I once finished 3rd in my age division. (Granted, there were only 6 of us in my age division, but still. I got a certificate, dammit!)
You should do it.
