Hi, okay first off, have you had your knee checked out by a doctor or is there any thing you've specifically done to injure it?
How long do you have to train before your 5k run? -
If you have abit of time you can do some rehabilitation exercises just to strengthen your knee which will cause less pain. If you can get down the gym and train on a cross-trainer instead of a treadmill or road running then that would also help you train, causing less impact on your knee.

Hey Jan! How are you? Congratulations on committing yourself to that run, it's good you have the motivation considering you haven't run in a while.

Okay well can you reply back to me what training you're doing already and we'll go from there. Thanks, Nikki.
