I'd just echo calls for taking it easy on the pace while you're building up. Even without injury risks, if you're targeting a fast 10k time then a solid endurance base on well-trained running muscles is essential. Your cycling fitness will give you a nice head start on the cardio side of things, and some long, easy miles will get the legs more running-shaped.
BTW, I'm surprised there hasn't been more discussion of carbon-plated shoes here amongst all the gear talk. I don't suppose anyone's had a chance to try either the Saucony Endorphin Speed or Pro have they? (Or both?)
