Help! I just signed up for Race for the Cure... and I never run! I always do elliptical or bike for my cardio. It's in about 6 weeks, any tips on how to gear up for the race? They say some people just walk, some even push their kids in strollers. It's just a fundraiser thing. But I want to run in it and not look stupid next to the other runners! LOL!

Try this ..maybe ?
Maybe you can replace a couple of your cardio days with a brisk walk, working up to a jog. Maybe try a mile or so at first, more if you can, I'm sure you can do more
Mix it up a bit ... walk a few minutes, then jog as long as you can, then back to walking and so on. That might be a start for you. Just my thoughts. You may get better ideas than mine. Lots of good help on here.

I could probably start with a jog. I'll do as much as I can and go up from there! Thanks for the advice.
