A question about 5K races

[cnada]

I'm just wondering if anybody's done a 5K race. If you did, did you have fun? What was it like? I just want to know what doing one is like.

The last fun run I did was a 5K, I think. I have had a problem at times of trying to pace my self on other people when I am running such an event. When I am able to ignore the other runners and run my own pace it is fun. What is a bit irritating is when someone comes up next to you and says "I'm gonna run with you." I'm thinking, "bro, if I wanted to run with you I would have asked before the race, and since I didn't..." Most of the time the person can't keep up anyway.

Hopefully, I'll be able to run a 10K in the not-to-distant future. as for the 5K, it was fun. The length is similar to what I normally run so it wasn't particularly taxing.
