    It's not 10k, it's 6 miles I think. Stay to the back at the start so as the runners aren't held up.

    Follow a 10k training program that gets you in the habit of running regularly, at an easy pace, and builds up the distance slowly. Like this one.
    Contact your local running clubs. There's a good chance they'll have training groups for people doing the same race.

    Try listening to some music or podcasts when you're on the road to either push you, or at least keep you from getting bored. Run outside as much as you can, treadmills are boring as hell.

    If you want to lose weight, diet is crucial. Calories in must be less than calories out. Have a look at tyre stickie threads on the Diet and Nutrition Forum but take some of the advice with a pinch of salt, there are a LOT of fad dieters on there.

    If you are serious about it, then the best single thing you could do is find a running buddy. On the days you don't feel like running, your buddy will encourage you to get off the sofa, and vice versa !
