Random Poll: 5K

[bluelikejazz]

If you were to walk outside right now, wearing whatever you have on as you read this thread (heels, barefoot, suit, jeans, whatever)...

And complete (run or walk) a 5K, what would your predicted time be?

[al320]

well, id walk it. otherwise, the non-wearing of a sports bra would be the death of me. plus, these shoes arent great, by mile 3 id be in pain and so id probably go barefoot for some of it. so im going to say an hour.

[SuziSaysDa]

My guess, 50 minutes and it might be indecent. I would have to walk in my heels (but I am a pretty quick walker and they have ankle straps) and my skirt keeps riding up, so it would be a show.

[stinkerbell6879]

Not very fast! lol. I have "flip flops" and a summer dress on....Maybe an hour?

[heightsyankee]

I am doing my cool down from my C25K ( and posting from my bad ass iPhone app. Suck it, nest) sonim dressed for it. I'm only in week 3 though. My time today was 13.2 min/mi

[shorty20]

Well, I do have sneakers on, so that would help! I wouldn't care to run in my jeans though, but if I had to do it, I could probably finish in around 30 mins. The weather is super nice, not too hot, so it would actually be pretty pleasant.

[mrsmc08]

I would say an hour. I'm in comfy clothes and pretty much what I'd wear for a work out (other than my bra) but I still have a giant bruise on my left that hurts if jiggled.

[bluelikejazz]

Hmm... probably not very fast, as I don't want to ruin the sweater I knit. I'd walk it for that reason alone. Maybe a little less than an hour.

[texassmith]

I ran a 5K in 25:44 last weekend. So I'd guess in my skinny jeans, 3/4 sleeve cardigan and barefeet, it'd be around 40:00? Who knows...

[gt7301b]

I'm wearing flats so I'd say 45 min.

[cinco]

I'm barefoot and not wearing a supportive bra, so probably about 50 minutes. I'm no cave woman.

[Deleted]

Hah! great poll. I'd probably take an hour or so, I have on 3" wedge sandals and a corset top with strapless bra. It is not conducive to fast walking.

[my4girls]

I'm braless, barefoot and a month out from a c/s. it would take awhile. And if the baby currently hanging off my boob counts as something I'm wearing then even longer lol

[LWoods]

About an hour and I'd be so sweaty and gross because I'm dressed for my sub-artic feeling office and it's nice outside.

[stingsharkruns]

I'd probably die of a heat stroke. It's hot and I have on jeans.

I have loafer-ish type shoes on w/ jeans & a tank top. I could probably do it in 30ish min.

[gnomesweetgnome]

This is awesome. I am in my PJs, barefoot, and it's raining (not to mention this top would be totally see-through in about 10 seconds with the rain). So, I'd probably walk it, and I guess it'd take me about an hour. It would also aggravate my PF so my 10 miler tomorrow would be out of the question, lol.

[Deleted]

Hmm. This is tough. I am dressed to run except I'm wearing my shoes with my orthotics instead of my running shoes. I also haven't ran since I did my half and I'm stiff.

I'm going to go with 40 minutes.

[Wines Not Whines]

I'm wearing flats, jeans, a cashmere sweater, and a "supportive tank" which means no bra. So I'd walk it... maybe it would take me an hour?

[keweenawlove]

I'm wearing TOMS shoes and jeans. I think I could do it in 30 minutes if I had to.

[katinthehat]

best poll ever.

I can walk my dog 1.75 miles in 35 minutes wearing normal clothes, so I'm going to go with 70 minutes. But I am barefoot, so that might add to it. But my normal walking route would probably be okay barefoot.

[DefenseAgainstTheDarkArts22]

It would take at least an hour. I have jeans, no sports bra and barefoot. I'm hoping it would be on a treadmill or with my luck I'd step on glass in the first 2 minutes!

[statwaldy]

Oh dear god. It would probably be a good hour, at least.

[kams]

This is great. I use got home from the gym, so my current clothes are do-able. BUT, I don't have shoes on. I'd add 15 minutes or so to my time for that I guess? 40-45 mins

[jobell]

Probably about 30-35min. I'm wearing non-running sneakers, so I have some support, but I'm also in jeans. I'd want to take my top layer off (I'm wearing a wrap sweater over a tank) but w/o a sports bra I'd probably not want to bounce out of my top lol.

[bluelikejazz]

Some of these answers are so much better than I expected! Thanks for indulging in my random poll!

[flamingemu]

Ha! I am in Business clothes with 3 inch heals on. I don't think I should be running in heals with pregnant so I would have to walk. At least an hour.

[ChiKate]

I'm wearing jeans and sanuks which would probably allow for a 45 min time. However, the lack of a sports bra is definitely going to add another 15 minutes unless I'm able to run with my arms tightly crossed over my chest. That would look lovely.

[mrsbro]

I'm in flip flops so I'm guessing an hour. I wouldn't be running very fast

[katandkevin]

I am barefoot but wearing yoga capris and a tech shirt. I am guessing it might be around an hour.

[jgleespen]

I would have to walk it, I am wearing flip flops, jeans, and a bra that is annoying the hell out of me. I'm guess an hour.
