Anybody else doing this run?

This would be my 2nd 5K run this year. Training for next year's LA Marathon so these mini runs would be fun and a great warmup. I'm aware I should run longer distances but I'm just starting out.

Well, you've got to start somewhere and can always go up in distance. What average time are you getting in a 5K run?

My first one was at the Santa Anita Derby a couple of weeks ago. My time wasn't that great...it was about 27 mins. But then again I'm running on 1 bad knee and 2 bad ankles (fractured one in 3 places a couple of years ago and never seem to be back to normal). My ankles flare up after I run a few miles but I try to fight the pain and just keep running till I can't bear the pain anymore.
