anyone else running their first race this weekend?

i am running my first 5 k on sat (through a winery!) the weather looks great, i am excited! i feel ready, i've been running 3.1 miles in about 36 1/2 minutes. Which is a big improvment for me from the low 40s just a few weeks ago. 

Just wanted to see how everyone else was feeling & say good luck! :)

  • Nope, but I'm doing my first all-on-my-own, no-other-support-or-friends twenty miler on Friday. :) Have a great time!
  • No. BUT! I am swimming in a meet this weekend! I haven't been in a meet in about 7 years! I haven't really been training for this particular meet but I'm excited to see where I am in terms of pace so I know what to do for training this tri season!
  • Yes! My first race is a 10K on Sunday afternoon. It's supposed to be 63 and raining. I'm alternating between really nervous and ok. I've only been running since mid-January. I want to beat a friend's time from last year (1:33). I ran a 10K with gnomesweetgnome (not a race) 2 weeks ago and finished in 1:30, so maybe I'll beat his time. I wish I was running with a friend.

  • I am running my first race in a long time (10+ years).  I am doing a 5K on Saturday.  I am really excited.  I ran 5K last night, and was happy with my time considering I have a cold and I ran about 30 minutes after eating dinner.

    Good luck!  I wish my race was through a winery!!

  • I'm running my first 5k next Thursday... i'm a little nervous, and glad that my friend wanted to do this race too, and it's her first 5k as well, so I don't have to do it alone.
