Fargo marathon

Resolved Question: I'm running a 10K in a couple of weeks and feeling cruddy?
I am a 23yr old female who got 'drafted' to run a 10k for the upcoming Fargo Marathon relay team formed at my work. 10 weeks ago, I ran maybe 3 miles A WEEK, with my dog. By no means a 'runner'. I have worked up to about 15-20 miles a week now, longest so far at one shot being 4.25 miles. My goal is to hit 5 miles by this Sunday, and 6 the following Sunday. I am NOT a fast runner. I basically want to finish the 10k without dying or cramping up up super bad. The race is May 17th, or 16 days from today. Basically I am looking for encouragement. What is your WORST 10k time? Any stories of struggle that eventually leg to success? Plus, how big of a loser will I look like if I have to stop and stretch a pesky muscle mid-race? Thanks!!! -Mrs. Matt D-
